As it stands, the only way I can think of to do what you want would be to make use of the fact that preprocessor variables will resolve to environment variables if they are not defined in the XML. Set your system-dependent variables up as system environment vars.
I wrote the preprocessor code and use a variant of it for a variety of XML tasks unrelated to CCNET. I have added an ifdef/ifndef/else construct already, which would serve your purpose as well, but it is not in the CCNET codebase (yet). If you'd like, I can give you a command-line version of the preprocessor with this functionality included. -Jeremy On Oct 23, 7:05 pm, Arieh Schneier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry for the confusion, but my questions were about the new method.
