best way to evaluate a fileset?

[Ivo Bellin Salarin]

Good afternoon,

I'm working on windows. I'm trying to evaluate a fileset (ant speaking).

My code looks this way, today:

    private String[] expandFileSet(AbstractBuild<?, ?> build, String pattern) {

        List<String> fileNames = new ArrayList<String>();

        try {

        for (FilePath x: build.getWorkspace().list(pattern))

            fileNames.add(x.getRemote());

        } catch (IOException ioe) {}

        catch (InterruptedException inte) {}

        return fileNames.toArray(new String[fileNames.size()]);

    }

where pattern looks like "**\*.Tests.dll"

My problem is that the list() method always returns an empty list.

Even with no parameter at all, list() returns an empty list. Even if the workspace contains a certain number of files or folders.

Previous I was using a function similar to 

   private String[] expandFileSet(AbstractBuild<?, ?> build, String pattern) {

        String[] result = new String[]{pattern};

        FileSet fileSet = new FileSet();

        org.apache.tools.ant.Project project = new org.apache.tools.ant.Project();

        fileSet.setProject(project);

        try {

            fileSet.setDir(new File(build.getWorkspace().toURI().getPath()));

            fileSet.setIncludes(pattern);

        } catch (IOException ioe) {

            return result;

        } catch (InterruptedException intE) {

            return result;

        }

        return fileSet.getDirectoryScanner(project).getIncludedFiles();

    }

(including an ant FileSet).

Well.. which is the best way to evaluate a fileset? Are there some considerations I should take into account on Windows?

Thanks in advance,

Ivo

Isn't the issue with the original pattern?

I thought that even on windows you need to use a forward slash ("/") as the path separator character.  I thought the backwards slash ("\") is treated as a regular expression escape of the following character.
