I'm looking at <http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/echo.html> but don't see how to echo a file to the screen (System.out?).
I'm in linux, so it'd be something like: $ cat foo.txt or $ cat foo.txt -n in windows C:> type foo.txt How would is that done from ant so that it's platform independant? If it's a tricky problem, then how is that done on linux? I was writing a (very basic) script in linux, which included the ant command, but that seems silly. In linux I'm wanting to string together these commands: date cd /home/thufir/java/ cp /home/thufir/java/tidyBuild/build.xml /home/thufir/java/build.xml -fv cat build.xml -n cat tidyBuild/properties.xml -n cat src/atreides/tidyXhtml/Test16.java -n cat src/atreides/tidyXhtml/BasicTidy.java -n cat src/atreides/tidyXhtml/ControlTidy.java -n ant cd bin jar -tf Test16.jar jar -xf Test16.jar cat META-INF/MANIFEST.MF -n java -jar Test16.jar But I'd rather do that from ant, if possible, or at least the "cat" (concatenate) part.
