Can i iterate over one directory level in ant??
I mean to say

Java

*DIR
     -->dir1
       ---->file1
       ---->file2
       ---->file3
     -->dir2
       ---->file1
       ---->file2
       ---->file3
     -->dir3
       ---->file1

What i want is dir1 dir2 dir3 ??

HTML

<!-- Script -->
<target name="forloop">
    <ac:foreach target="trimmer" param="file" xmlns:ac="#unknown">
        <path>
            <fileset dir="${directory}/SourceFolder/" includes="**/*">
                <depth max="1" />
            </fileset>
        </path>
    </ac:foreach>
</target>

<target name="trimmer">
    <echo message="${file}" />
</target>

But this gives me first level files not first level directories.
How can i improve it ??

what are you trying to do? why would you want to only touch the folders?

try divide subdirectories in sublist say 3 each and perform parallel copy on each list using ant

Instead of using a fileset for your code why don't you use the dirset, according to the ant-contrib documentation this should return directories.

So your for loop would look something like:

<ac:foreach target="trimmer" param="file" xmlns:ac="#unknown">
    <path>
        <dirset dir="="${directory}/SourceFolder/"" includes="*" />
    </path>
</ac:foreach>
