Hello,

I googled the mailing list archive and found a matching solution based on j=
avascript for ant 1.5.

I'm using ant 1.7.1 and tried this to delete NBS-folders (NightlyBuildSyste=
m) older than a specific amount of time.

  <target name=3D"delete.old.stuff"
          depends=3D"init"
          description=3D"delete all NBS stuff which is older than a specifi=
c amount of time">

    <!-- start the timer -->
    <stopwatch name=3D"timer.delete.old.stuff"/>

    <!-- first calculate the borderline timestamp -->
    <tstamp>
      <format property=3D"borderline.timestamp" pattern=3D"MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm=
 aa"
              offset=3D"${deletion.threadshold}" unit=3D"day"/>
    </tstamp>

	<echo message=3D"borderline.timestamp=3D${borderline.timestamp}" />
=09
	<!-- now delete all NBS checkouts and stuff older than that boderline time=
stamp -->
	<echo message=3D"delete ${NBS.dir.prefix}** in ${nbsdir} before ${borderli=
ne.timestamp}" />
	<delete includeemptydirs=3D"true" verbose=3D"true">
	  <dirset dir=3D"${nbsdir}" includes=3D"${NBS.dir.prefix}**">	 =20
	    <date datetime=3D"${borderline.timestamp}" when=3D"before" checkdirs=
=3D"true"/>
	  </dirset>
	</delete>

	<!-- now determine the  artifact folder -->
	<property name=3D"artifact.dir" value=3D"${builddir}/CruiseControl/artifac=
ts/${projectname}" />

	<echo message=3D"artifact.dir=3D${artifact.dir}" />

	<!-- now delete all artifacts and stuff older than that boderline timestam=
p -->
	<echo message=3D"delete **/**/* in ${artifact.dir} before ${borderline.tim=
estamp}" />
	<delete includeemptydirs=3D"true"  verbose=3D"true">
	  <dirset dir=3D"${artifact.dir}" includes=3D"**/**/*">	 =20
	    <date datetime=3D"${borderline.timestamp}" when=3D"before"  checkdirs=
=3D"true"/>
	  </dirset>
	</delete>
=09
	<!-- print out timer and reset it -->
    <stopwatch name=3D"timer.delete.old.stuff" action=3D"total"/>

    <echo message=3D"DONE : delete.old.stuff" />
  </target>

Unfortunately this construction does not delete anything :-(

The console says this:
delete.old.stuff:
     [echo] borderline.timestamp=3D06/06/2009 17:32 PM
     [echo] delete NBS-run** in F:/NightlyBuildSystem before 06/06/2009 17:=
32 PM
     [echo] artifact.dir=3DF:\NightlyBuildSystem/CruiseControl/artifacts/Ma=
ilminder NBS
     [echo] delete **/**/* in F:\NightlyBuildSystem/CruiseControl/artifacts=
/Mailminder NBS before 06/06/2009 17:32 PM
[stopwatch] [timer.delete.old.stuff: 0.844 sec]
     [echo] DONE : delete.old.stuff

Is there something I'm doing completely wrong?
Is there any possibility to delete such old stuff without using javascript =
anyway?

Thanks for your time and your help

Regards
