Not sure about the props file question but can you use a variable.
Something like below:
<target name="testme">
<var name="counter" value="0"/>
<for list="a,b,c" param="argvalue" >
<sequential>
<math result="counter" operand1="${counter}" operation="+" operand2="1"
datatype="int"/>
<echo>counter: ${counter}</echo>
<if>
<equals arg1="${counter}" arg2="1"/>
<then>
<echo message="value is 1"/>
</then>
<else>
<echo message="value is NOT 1"/>
</else>
</if>
</sequential>
</for>
</target>
Echos the following:
testme:
counter: 1
value is 1
counter: 2
value is NOT 1
counter: 3
value is NOT 1
hth.

Subject: Help with iteration in for loop
Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2007 09:57:37 -0400
Hi Friends,
Is there any way to control iteration in ant. I want to put an
if-else
condition in the for loop to control the action depending upon the
iteration
count.I tried this:
build.xml
counter: ${count}
value.properties file:
count=0
After I execute this,I get this as output:
C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\test>ant
Buildfile: build.xml
test_iteration:
[propertyfile] Updating property file: C:\Documents and
Settings\hjhutty\Desktop
\test\value.properties
[echo] counter: 0
[propertyfile] Updating property file: C:\Documents and
Settings\hjhutty\Desktop
\test\value.properties
[echo] counter: 0
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second
value.properties=2
Can somebody explain me,why ${count} still displays 0 in the second
iteration,though the properties file has been updated.
Please help.
Thanks
