How do I remove multiple directories?

[Ivan Bilenjkij <ib...@mistwireless.com>]

Hello,

I have a group of directories with names like: dirname-0001, dirname-0002,
etc. that I would like to remove, regardles whether they're empty or not. On
*nix box I would just type rm -rf dirname-* but if I try to do this with
ant, like: <delete file="dirname-*" /> nothing happens. Does anybody know
how do I do this?


Thanx

<delete includeemtydirs="true">
  <fileset dir="parent-of-dirs">
    <include name="dirname-*/**" />
  </fileset>
</delete>

and make sure you're using 1.4beta as includemeptydirs is broken in
1.3.
