Mike, This looks like it will work just fine. I have a custom Nant extensions project and will add this in that DLL.

Good Afternoon Folks, I was just playing around with this and I was able to do it with a C# script function in a target: <target name="getUserInput"> <script language="C#" prefix="build"> <code><![CDATA[ [Function("getInput")] public static string getInput() { Console.WriteLine("Enter a string: "); string s = Console.ReadLine(); return s.ToString(); } ]]></code> </script> <property name="_str" value="${build::getInput()}" /> <echo message="----> Input String: ${_str}" /> </target> Executing this on my machine produces the following output: C:\>nant -f:test.build getUserInput NAnt 0.86 (Build 0.86.2898.0; beta1; 12/8/2007) Copyright (C) 2001-2007 Gerry Shaw http://nant.sourceforge.net Buildfile: file:///C:/test.build Target framework: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Target(s) specified: getUserInput [loadtasks] Scanning assembly "NAnt.Contrib.Tasks" for extensions.

Enter a string: This is a test string!! [echo] ----> Input String: This is a test string!! BUILD SUCCEEDED Total time: 8.4 seconds. This stores the input into a property and you can do whatever you like with it after that. I hope this helps, Mike ________________________________________ From: Parrish, Ken [mailto:kparr...@gomez.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 9:34 AM To: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [NAnt-users] Input prompting ... Nant Users, Is there a task that can be used to prompt a user for input of a property? I'd like to design some tasks which will prompt the user for input of a property if the property was not specified on the command line. I looked in both Nant and NantContrib and didn't see anything. Am I missing something? Ken Parrish Gomez, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
