Or this: <echo message="Please type in the value for src"/> <input addproperty="src"/> <echo message="Please type in the value for build"/> <input addproperty="build"/> <echo message="Please type in the value for dist"/> <input addproperty="dist"/> <echo message="Please type in the value for doc"/> <input addproperty="doc"/>
Note: I would use input@message, but there appears to be a bug in my version of ANT and this doesnt do anything Cheers -Geoff -----Original Message----- From: William Gustave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 06 September 2002 08:16 PM To: ANT (E-mail) Subject: Command Line Arguments Is it possible to set the Global Variables from the command line in an Ant build file. I am using the <input> tag and I just don't see how in the Ant tutorial to do this. I have pasted the code below. <project name="ems" default="dist" basedir="."> <description>Enhanced Magazine Site build file</description> <!-- set global properties for this build --> <property name="src" location="SourceCode"/> <property name="build" location="classes"/> <property name="dist" location="dist"/> <property name="doc" location="doc"/> <target name="init"> <echo message="${src}"/> <input message="All data is going to be deleted from DB continue (y/n)?" validargs="americasnetwork,telecomplanet" /> <!-- Create the time stamp --> <tstamp/> <!-- Create the build directory structure used by compile --> <mkdir dir="${build}"/> </target> </project> Thanks William Gustave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
