Hi All, Attached is a zip file containing a task called path. This task extracts path information from a given partial (or complete) path name and optionally expands it to a fully-qualified path, using either the current working directory or the Project's base directory as the root, and places in a designated property. I looked through the list of tasks and didn't see anything that did something like this (and we needed it) so after implementing it in a script task, I decided to code it up as a full-fledged task and submit it in the hope that it will be useful to others. I wrote it is as being in the Nant.Core namespace because that is where copy and mkdir are (and we seem to always be manipulating paths in our build files) but if the project's admins prefer that it be a somewhere else in NAnt or submitted to NAntContrib instead that is fine by me (I didn't cross post, but I will send it to that list if you like). The task is accompanied by 12 tests, and is fully documented. Best, Bill William E.
