I'm trying to copy some files from one directory to another with the exception of a sub-directory. I'm running
ant in Eclipse and created a simple project to reproduce my problem.
Directories and files in Eclipse project:
build.xml
dir1/a.txt
dir1/dir2/b.txt
dir3/
I want to copy a.txt to dir3, but do not want to copy b.txt at all.
This is my build.xml:
Running the build.xml results in this file structure:
dir3/a.txt
dir3/dir2/b.txt
I know I must be missing something very basic. To me, the
<exclude name="dir1/dir2/**" /> should prevent anything in dir1/dir2/ from being copied.
Thanks in advance for your help!
