As I've said before, I think this format is really out-of-character for Ant -- and if I came across it in a build file, I'd think it was a mistake, since there's nothing to indicate what it's even doing. And as I've also said before, I think it'd be far better to enhance the <foreach> task to read a file and use each line as the param to pass -- you could even get into allowing for fields, with a specified field-delimiter (a la 'cut'), ignoring comment lines, etc. I think that would be far more useful than having this odd (to me, anyway) thing added to the <cvs> task. I realize you've already taken the time to write a bunch of code to deal with this, but I'm sure we've all at some point or other written code that we've ended up having to chuck. (I know I have, and it's not an easy thing to do, especially when it's some terribly clever way around something that you later realize could be done in some far more straightforward way -- but damn, that clever way around sure was brilliant, for awhile :) Diane ===== ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
