fileset exclude with full path

[Eric Dalquist <er...@doit.wisc.edu>]

I have a full path to a directory that I want to create a fileset of and 
a full path to a sub-directory that I want to exclude.

I've tried the following and some variations on it:
<fileset id="projectFiles" dir="/a/b/c/" excludes="/a/b/c/d/**" />

No matter what I try I can't seem to get the excludes path to be honored.

I unfortunately do not have the ability to change the sub-directory path 
to a relative path instead of a full path, it is being populated from 
another task that I do not have control over.

Thank you,
-Eric

Could you try the <PropertyRegex> task in ant-contrib to construct a
relative path?

I figured that was the requirement ... unfortunately I have no control 
over the format of either path. All I get is two properties, each is an 
absolute path, and I need to make a fileset using one as the dir and 
excluding the other.

My other thought was to look into trimming off the first bit of the 
exclude path though I'm not sure how I would do that either. AntContrib 
has the propertyregex task but that could get tricky with different path 
separators on different OSs. Anyone know of a 'substring' type task?

Not recommended indeed, but if you really can't change that

This is wrong. Needs to be relative to dir attribute above. So should
be d/** only.
