Find - is there parallel ant task?

Hello,
 
I would like to find a set of files, which are newer than a certain file (or time stamp). Is this possible to be done using ant?
 
Thanks,
 
Barak.

What you want is possible using filesets, selectors, and the pathconvert
task.
Look at the Concepts and Types section of the manual.

What you want is roughly something like

<project name="test">
<fileset id="myfileset" dir="foo/bar">
    

 <date datetime="01/01/2001 12:00 AM" when="after"/>

</fileset>
<pathconvert targetsos="unix" refid="myfileset"
property="myfileset.asproperty"/>
<echo>myfileset is ${myfileset.asproperty}</echo>
</project>

Cheers,

Antoine

Strange subject line...
 
To get only the files newer than a certain date, try using a nested <date> selector on a <fileset>

I found it to more along the lines of the typical hacker response to a 
poorly-worded inquiry.
