<project name="test_project" default="test" basedir=".">
<property name="test-prop" value="server1-db1"/>
<target name="test">
<script language="javascript"> <![CDATA[
temp = test_project.getProperty("test-prop");
index = temp.indexOf("-");
test_project.setProperty("extractedFromTest",
temp.substring(index + 1, temp.length()));
]]>
</script>
<echo message="${extractedFromTest}" />
</target>
</project>
