RE: Ant script to search a folder and move it

Hey Thanks Gilbert!. It worked. Also can you tell me if the following
scenario is possible via ant?

I have many folders in a dir which in turn have a certain yyy.properties
file in each of them. I need to iterate through all of these files(all have
the same name), copy their content in a backup folder and concatenate their
content into the same yyy.properties after some changes are done in these
files. Is it possible through ant? If not will perl do the trick?

use the <move> task with a dirset, see =
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/move.html
and
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/dirset.html

the dirset catches the directory via include pattern
