I can see both sides of the argument - as an alternative, could you not put
it in the NAnt.exe.config as an app setting? Maybe something like
"nant.echo.appendnewline"
This would allow the end user to chose the behaviour required, and avoid
possibility of having to add a skipNewline attribute to lots of elements if
they don't want a new line?
Jut an idea.
Cheers,
Bill

Chris,
I think we should keep the new behavior - meaning not implicitly add a new
line.
This also matches the behavior of Ant.

Gert,
I'm concerned that the breaking change to the echo task could cause problems
for many people who use that task. Although we're having problems with the
echo task appending a newline character to the output, it seems to me that
that's not an entirely unreasonable thing for the echo task to do - after
all, that's what it currently does.
What we're really missing is the opposite of the loadfile task. Just as
loadfile transfers the contents of a text file to a property, we require a
task (savefile, say) that transfers the contents of a property to a text
file.
I'd be happy to submit a patch to implement this, and I urge you to revert
the breaking changes to the echo task, or at least make the new
functionality available in a non-breaking way (e.g. perhaps add a
skipNewline boolean property that defaults to false).

Hi Paul,
This issue is now fixed in CVS.
Together with the fix for #2807728, I introduced a breaking change for
<echo>:
we now default to the system's current ANSI code page when writing message
to a file.
I also added an encoding attribute, so you can easily set the encoding back
to UTF-8.
I've struggled for at least two hours to get a new nightly build uploaded
before I gave up :-(
I'll have to find another place to host our nightly builds, as I've already
lost too much of the little time I have with sf issues.

Hello Gert
I have added a bug. The id is 2807728. How long do you think until a fix
for this becomes available?
Many thanks, Paul

Subject: [NAnt-users] newline in echo
Running <echo file="file.txt">This is my text</echo> seems to actually
output:
This is my text\n
-which is wrong, I didn't ask for a newline to appear at the end, and is
actually now causing problems. Is there a way to avoid this newline
appearing?
Paul
