Then I would look at writing a quick custom task  (they really aren't that =
hard) so that you can eliminate all the details of the file structure to wi=
thin the task.=0A=0AI would see something like:=0A=0A<getGroupValue filenam=
e=3D"..." lookfor=3D"...." setproperty=3D"result"/>=0A=0AYou would pass in =
(as attributes) the filename, the lookfor value (i.e. 'Test2'), and the nam=
e of the property that would be defined whose value will the group that was=
 found.=0A=0AThis is a lot cleaner than exposing/manipulating the file (and=
 it rigid structure) through a series of generic ANT tasks.=0A=0AJust my $.=
