Hi,

Thanks for the snippet!
I found out that <var name=3D"nameOfProperty" unset=3D"true"/> you can =
reset a property.=20

What I want to do is quite simple (although unachievable for me):

I would like to copy all files from a directory "source", which are =
newer to those in "result", to an own directory "input".
So, source/a.xml needs to be compared to result/a.xml
source/b.xml to result/b.xml and so on....

At the end, the "input" directory should just hold  the new files...

I don't know how to do this....

Thanks very much for any help....

kind regards,
Roman
