[Nant-users] For-each on XML nodes?

[Byrd, Payton]

Title: For-each on XML nodes?

Is it possible to do a for-each enumeration on XML nodes matching an xpath query?

For example,

<!-Projects.xml à

<? xml version="1.0">

<projects>

<projectfile filesets="subdirectory1\childproject1\filesets.xml" category="a" />

        <projectfile filesets="subdirectory1\childproject2\filesets.xml" category="b" />

        <projectfile filesets="subdirectory1\childproject3\filesets.xml" category="c" />

        <projectfile filesets="subdirectory2\childproject1\filesets.xml" category="a" />

        <projectfile filesets="subdirectory2\childproject2\filesets.xml" category="b" />

        <projectfile filesets="subdirectory3\childproject1\filesets.xml" category="c" />

</projects>

I would like to be able to do the following:

<foreach item="XML" in="projects.xml(//[EMAIL PROTECTED] == 'a' or @category == 'c'])" property="filesets">

        <do><!-do something with ${filesets} à</do>

</foreach>

This would allow me to create an XML tree representing our source code that could be shared between the GUI and our build script.  Currently I have to save a separate CSV file for each group of projects that I want to build together.
