MSBuild copy task and condition name from file with wildcards - msbuild

Question

I have a FilesToExclude2.txt file which contains all excludes like this :
*.settings
*#*
*.vbproj*
*.csproj*
*\Errors\*
*\Errors
*\_vti_*\*
*\_vti_*
*\CVS\*
In my tasks file, there is a copy task
<Target Name="CustomModuleCopy">
<ItemGroup>
<ModuleFiles Include="$(SolutionModuleName)\$(ProjectModuleName)\**\*.*" />
<FileToExclude Include="$(BasePath)\$(SolutionModuleName)\FilesToExclude2.txt" />
</ItemGroup>
<ReadLinesFromFile File="#(FileToExclude)">
<Output TaskParameter="Lines" ItemName="FileContents" />
</ReadLinesFromFile>
<Copy SourceFiles="#(ModuleFiles)" DestinationFiles="#(ModuleFiles->'$(DestFolder)\$(ProjectModuleName)\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)')" Condition="'%(ModuleFiles.Identity)' != #(FileContents)" ContinueOnError="false" />
<!--CallTarget Targets="RemoveCustomModuleConfigFiles" /-->
</Target>
Without the "condition" attribute on the copy task, everything's works fine, but I do not know how to implement the condition with wildcard and if it is possible
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated :) this is freaking me out for few hours...

Answer 1

Would it not be easier to just use the exclude property instead?
as in
Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<ItemGroup>
<ModuleFiles Include="c:\code\**\*.*"
Exclude="#(FileContents)" />
</ItemGroup>
<!--<Copy SourceFiles="#(ModuleFiles)" DestinationFolder="Some|Destination" Condition="'%(ModuleFiles.Identity)' != #(FileContents)" ContinueOnError="false" />
CallTarget Targets="RemoveCustomModuleConfigFiles" /-->

Answer 2

the following code
<Target Name="CustomModuleCopy">
<ItemGroup>
<FileToExclude Include="$(BasePath)\$(SolutionModuleName)\FilesToExclude.txt" />
</ItemGroup>
<ReadLinesFromFile File="#(FileToExclude)">
<Output TaskParameter="Lines" ItemName="FileContents" />
</ReadLinesFromFile>
<ItemGroup>
<ModuleFiles Include="$(SolutionModuleName)\$(ProjectModuleName)\**\*.*" Exclude="#(FileContents)" />
</ItemGroup>
<Copy SourceFiles="#(ModuleFiles)" DestinationFiles="#(ModuleFiles->'$(DestFolder)\$(ProjectModuleName)\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)')" ContinueOnError="false" />
<Message Text="Exclude = #(FileContents)" />
<!--CallTarget Targets="RemoveCustomModuleConfigFiles" /-->
</Target>
produce this output in console :
copy /y "CPBMessaging\CPBMessagingWeb_NotificationMessage\Web.Debug.config" "C:\__CPB\CPBSite\CPBMessagingWeb_NotificationMessage\Web.Debug.config"
Copying file from "CPBMessaging\CPBMessagingWeb_NotificationMessage\Web.Release.config" to "C:\__CPB\CPBSite\CPBMessagingWeb_NotificationMessage\Web.Release.config"
copy /y "CPBMessaging\CPBMessagingWeb_NotificationMessage\Web.Release.config" "C:\__CPB\CPBSite\CPBMessagingWeb_NotificationMessage\Web.Release.config"
Exclude = *.cab;*.config;*.vb;*.cs;*.resx;*.xsx;*.bak;*.myapp;*.settings;*#*;
*.vbproj*;*.csproj*;*\Errors\*;*\Errors;*\_vti_*\*;*\_vti_*;*\CVS\*;*\CVS;
