I want to copy some specific files from source directory to destination directory on below condition using ANT.
Source folder contains the following files
- 35001_abc.sql
- 38001_abc.sql
- 38002_abc.sql
- 39001_abc.sql
I want to copy the files with filenames starting with 36000 and above.
The Output directory should contain the following files
- 38001_abc.sql
- 38002_abc.sql
- 39001_abc.sql
One idea is to use a regular expression on the filename to restrict ranges of digits.
Example
├── build.xml
├── src
│ ├── 35001_abc.sql
│ ├── 38001_abc.sql
│ ├── 38002_abc.sql
│ ├── 39001_abc.sql
│ ├── 41001_abc.sql
│ └── 46001_abc.sql
└── target
├── 38001_abc.sql
├── 38002_abc.sql
├── 39001_abc.sql
├── 41001_abc.sql
└── 46001_abc.sql
