Re: [Nant-users] passing command-line argument while compiling build

Hi Srini,   You can use a script block to execute arbitrary code; for example, the code below prompts for user input, and then stores the result in a property. You can then refer to this property in the "tofile" attribute of the <copy> task to get the effect you want.   Regards,   Alex     <?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="test" default="run">  <property name="build.test" value=""/>     <target name="run">   <call target="getUserInput"/>   <echo message="Value of $build.test is ${build.test}"/>  </target>    <target name="getUserInput">   <script language="C#" mainclass="GetInput">           <code>             <![CDATA[                 class GetInput                 {                     public static void ScriptMain(Project project)                     {                         System.Console.WriteLine("Please enter the build directory");       project.Properties["build.test"] = System.Console.ReadLine();               }                 }             ]]>    </code>   </script>  </target> </project> ----- Original Message ----- From: Sreeni To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 1:24 PM Subject: [Nant-users] passing command-line argument while compiling build Nant Users,   I need a urgent help. I'm writing a build script(nant) for a ASP.Net project. I need to output the build based on a user input. Example Staging/Production. If user chooses Staging, then the build should be written to C:\Staging, If user chooses Production, then the build should be written to C:\Production. How can I achieve this? Is there any way to accept user input while compiling build script? I must be able to compare this value inside my script and then direct the build accordingly. I would appreciate any help.   Regards, Srini.
