Ant Manual question

[Alec Fernandez <Al...@sas.com>]

Hello,

I found this example in the selectors section of the ant manual but I was unable to get it to work.  If I change <fileset> to <dirset> then it returns the the matching directories as expected so I don't think my use is incorrect or that I have any typos.

Am I missing something or is this example simply a bit outdated?

Here is an example of how to use the Type Selector to select only directories in ${src}
<fileset dir="${src}">
  <type type="dir"/>
</fileset>

It depends on the task.  Some tasks will use fileset as a container for
files only (what you have seen when you said "unable to get ot to work"
while other tasks will also consider the directories matched by the
fileset.
