RE: how to exclude a basedir while looping using foreach

You could try something like includes="*", but I'm not sure of the
intent of your excludes.

Subject: how to exclude a basedir while looping using foreach


<target name="run">
	<foreach target="zip" param="folder-to-zip">
		<path>
			<dirset dir="${basedir}"
excludes="**/js,**/assets,**/assets/images,**/assets/swf,**/pdf,**/asset
s/music,**/assets/pdf"/>
		</path>
	</foreach>
				
</target>

My question is how do I exclude the basedir folder itself.
i want to zip only the sub directories and not the basedir.
When i use the above code it zips the base folder and then the inner
directories.

Have any ideas?
