Thank you for your response Diane. I actually = perused thru the mailings and found a couple of replies you sent about = the ForEach.java task. I don't know if it can do what I want = however.

In a nutshell, I want to ftp, copy, etc a folder full = of java and asp files to several servers. The servers will change = from build to build. The number of servers could also vary from = one to many. I was looking into the script task and I have a = rudimentary knowledge of Javascript (I know how to make pop up windows = from a web page :~). Would you happen to know if I can accomplish = this sort of thing with the script task? Here's some pseudo code = as to what I would like to do:

deploy.xml
-----------
...
<target name=3D"deploy_sites"> =
<script = language=3D"javascript">
        New array = sites=3D"site1 site2 site3"; #the elements will come = from a properties file
        for(int = i=3D0;i<length.(sites);i++) {

          &nb= sp;     <antcall target=3D"deploy"> =
          &nb= sp;           &nb= sp; <param name=3D"site" value=3D"site[i]"/> =
          &nb= sp;     = </antcall>         =

}
</script>
</target>

<target name=3D"main" = depends=3D"deploy_sites">
....

Then from the command line I can call "ant main = -buildfile deploy.xml".

Am I even close with the pseudocode?

-Anthony

In what way do you plan to pass more than one in on = the command line? Do
you have a (potential) property for each = server?

Do you mean target?

I can give it to you -- but since it's not Official = Ant, maybe there's a
way to avoid having to use it.

I've only used it with javascript, but I seem to = remember there being
something weird about the perl stuff with it (just = don't remember now
exactly what the weirdness was).
