Re: [NAnt-users] Filesets - include / exclude

[Bob A. <Bob...@am...>]

No idea, nor does the documentation say. My understanding is that the
exclude would take precendence over the include. But, it may go by which
is a closer match.

 

It is easy enough to test. Let us know how it works.

Subject: [NAnt-users] Filesets - include / exclude

 

Question about how <fileset> and <patternset> are interpreted.

 

How does Nant reconcile potentially conflicting <include> and <exclude>
tags.

 

During a copy operation, I would like to exclude all text (.txt) files
except those explicitly listed.  How might I do this?  Let's say, I want
to exclude all *.txt files EXCEPT a particular text file.  Is this the
right syntax? 

 

How will the following example be interpreted by Nant?

 

           <fileset basedir="${sourceBinDir}">
                 <include name="messagefile.txt" />
                 <exclude name="*.txt" />
           </fileset>



 

What if the order of <include> and <exclude> are interchanged?  The
documentation doesn't make this very clear.

 

Anyone have any experience with this or similar situations?

 

Thanks,
