What I mean by "parse the property in the build file" is this: I have a
property defined in a build file that I want to break into two or more
pieces based on a delimiting character, and then use the pieces
separately. I wrote a custom Ant task that gets the contents of the
original property from outside of Ant, so I have no control over its
original value, and the original value may change from build to build.
For example, if the value the original property is set to is "C\Program
Files\Sybase\EAserver\java\lib\jconn2.jar;;C\Program
Files\Sybase\EAserver\java\classes\xerces.jar", then I would like to
break this string into two pieces at the ";;".

What do you exact mean by "parse the property in the build file"?
If you want to have access to the value of a key defined in the
property file, you can load the property file via the <property
file="filename"/> and assuming the file conforms to JAVA property file
standards the properties will be loaded into the ANT session and you
reterive the value just like any other property (via the ${key}
notation).
Hope that helps,
Ninju

Subject: Can Ant Parse a Property
Hello.
I have a custom Ant task that populates a property in by build file.
I
would like to parse the property in the build file. Does anyone know
how?
If not, then I'll parse it in the custom Ant task.
Thanks,
Bob
