Using mappers with delete task

["Brown, Carlton" <Ca...@BellSouth.com>]

If I have a number of files in /src with a suffix of .foo,  then how can
I specify to delete the un-suffixed files in /build  ?  

 

For example, if I have files /src/Script1.foo and /src/Script2.foo,
files to be deleted would be /build/Script1 and /build/Script2

 

To accomplish this, I tried using a mapper with the delete task, but I
got an error saying the delete doesn't support the use of mappers.
Without a mapper, I can't see how this would be done.

 

I checked the manual entry for delete as well as searched usenet, but
nothing immediately suggested itself as a solution.

 

Thanks,

Carlton

use delete with a fileset and a present selector.
