I have been using the echo task to create a text file, during the build process.
It would seem that indention of the xml code actually affects the output from the echo task. Am I crazy, or is this the case? If I indent the following snippet a single tab, it causes the output to be different, from when it is not indented. ----------------------------------- <echo message="${version}"/> <echo message="Component:${product}" file="${product}.txt" append="false"/> <echo file="${product}.txt" append="true"> </echo> <echo message="Version:${version}" file="${product}.txt" append="true"/> <echo file="${product}.txt" append="true"> </echo> <echo message="Date:${time_date}" file="${product}.txt" append="true"/> <copy file="${product}.txt" tofile="${outputdir}/${product}.txt"/> --------------------------------------- output from above: BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds C:\Build\nyx>more test.txt Component:test Version:test Date:11/13/2002 08:33:20 output from the above, if indented one tab: BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds C:\Build\nyx>more test.txt Component:test Version:test Date:11/13/2002 08:32:53 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:ant-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:ant-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
