Copying Folder
Hi,
I am trying to used ant to copy all files from one folder to another. But
from the directory the files to be copy from contains some folders as well.
<copy todir="${build.dir}">
<fileset dir="${basedir}">
<include name="*"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
I tried to copy all the files except for the folders but fail to do so. Can
anyone advice?

If these answeres doesnt help (enough) please provide an example what
you want to achieve.
What is the original directory structure/files and what do you expect?

It seems to me that you need to use the type selector.
<copy todir="${build.dir}">
<fileset dir="${basedir}">
<include name="*"/>
<type type="file"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/selectors.html
This will build a fileset that contains files in ${basedir} but no folders under basedir.

Not really...I just want to copy the files from the root directory But the root directory will have folders as well. Now the problem I faced is how to filter out all the folders so that it only copy the files from the root directory

A fileset collects only existing files. It fails only if the "dir" directory doesnt exist.
If the files "must" exist, you could
- use a <filelist>
- check the existence with <fail> and a condition, like
<fail message="Required files missing">
<length length="3">
<fileset ...>

Re: AW: AW: Copying Folder

I gave up and decide just to used the copy to copy the files
<copy todir="${build.dir}">
<fileset dir="${basedir}">
<include name="host.txt"/>
<include name="urls_re"/>
<include name="urls"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
But here I faced another problem again...if one of the file is missing..it
won't come out error. Is there anywhere I can do to stop the process if a
file fail to be copy?

Posted by blazingwolf7 <bl...@gmail.com>.
Yes..thank you this is a good solution. But now I have a different thought.
Can I for example prepare a list, then in the list I will specify what file
I want to transfer from the root directory to the new folder.
Then it will refer to the file to determine which file to copy and which
file not to transfer.
Can that be done?

after reading again, i believe you mean =
a given folderstructure like that =
c:\test>tree /F /A
C:.
| foo.txt
| foobar.txt
| foobaz.txt

+---sub

\---subsub
sub1.txt
...
and you want to copy only the files on rootlevel
foo.txt
foobar.txt
foobaz.txt
right ??
to achieve that, just use the *.* include pattern
to catch only the files on roolevel =
<project default="copy">

you have to use flatten=true for that purpose,
example with attribute flatten =
<project default="copy">
<target name="copy">
<copy flatten="true" todir="C:/flatten">
<fileset dir="C:/groovy" includes="**/*.*" />
</copy>
</target>
</project>
will do a recursive copy from all files contained in
c:/groovy but doesn't preserve the directory structure,
means the targetdir C:/flatten will have no subfolders.

Not really...I just want to copy the files from the root directory
But the root directory will have folders as well. Now the problem I faced is
how to filter out all the folders so that it only copy the files from the
root directory

i think you want to recursive copy, but only the files without preserving
the directory structure !?
look at the flatten attribute from copy task or use a flattenmapper
