Ant Path problem

[Li Xin]

Hi!

Can anybody tell me in Ant how to copy file from one drive to another? I tried this in my build file but does not work:


<path id="source.java.dir"><pathelement location="C:\project\src"/></path>
<path id="backup.java.dir"><pathelement location="D:\project\backup"/> </path>
<copy todir="${backup.java.dir}">
<fileset dir="${source.java.dir}" ><include name="*.java"/></fileset>
</copy>

I'm not really sure what you mean by "[it] does not work". Perhaps you just need to use slashes instead of backslashes in your paths.

The following example seems to work for me.

  <target name="copy">
    <copy todir="C:/temp/ant">
      <fileset dir="J:/tmp/fubar"/>
    </copy>
  </target>
