Re: [cinjug-users] Ant task to check if directory contains any files

Steven,

Thanks, Antelope tasks did the work for me.
Actually I ended up using tasks from both Antelope and ant-contrib (which I found out about from the antelope website)

Check out the using Antelope : http://antelope.tigris.org/nonav/docs/manual/index.html

Antelope is a is a graphical user interface for running Ant. But it also offers a bunch of cool ant tasks that may be of help.

FileUtils Task - [http://antelope.tigris.org/nonav/docs/manual/bk03ch12.html] provides the ability to 

find the # of files in a directory.

Here's a link to the Antelope Binary tasks -http://antelope.tigris.org/files/documents/1409/11489/AntelopeTasks_3.2.10.zip

Hi,

Does anyone know of an ant task that I can use to

check if a directory contains one or more files?

I'm trying:

<condition property="filepresent">

  <available file="${upload.dir}/?*"/>

</condition>

But that does not work (filepresent is not set

although ${upload.dir} contains more than one file).

Apparently, "available" does not take a pattern

argument for the filename.
