Copy WildCards With MSBuild
I got today hysterical message from a good friend that implementing in his company automatic build with Team System. The message was: "Maor, How can I copy wildcards With MSBuild? Please help!!!".
Okay. What you should do my dear friend is:
1. Create an item list if you have more than one file to copy. You can do it with the CreateItem task:
<CreateItem Include="$(MyDir)\*.*">
<Output TaskParameter="Include" ItemName="MyFilesToCopy" />
</CreateItem>
2. Copy!
<Copy SourceFiles="@(MyFilesToCopy)" DesginationFolder="$(MyPutputDir)" />
3. Execute your build script.
Ah, by the way, if you want to recursively copy files using the <Copy> task, read this post from MSBuild Team Blog.
Enjoy!
