FindStr for ANT?

Hobbled

I want to get a list of files based on a fileset that only the files that contain a string in the file.

I was thinking the replace command but I don't want to touch the files, and it doesn't give a good report.

findstr in windows is a bit flakey.

Anyone know of an ANT command that will do this?

Can you clarify your request a bit?

I want to get a list of files based on a fileset that only the files that contain a string in the file.

I read this as "I want a fileset consisting of files containing a particular string"
Please correct me if I misunderstand.

Contains Selector

The <contains> tag in a FileSet limits the files defined by that fileset to only those which contain the string specified by the text attribute. .
...
Here is an example of how to use the Contains Selector:

<fileset dir="${doc.path}" includes="**/*.html">
<contains text="script" casesensitive="no"/>
</fileset>

Selects all the HTML files that contain the string script.

Perfect. Cheers.

My next question is, is there a target that will list the fileset out to a file? can't seem to find it.
