There are a number of problems with the example task:
<fileutil file="foobar.txt" property="moddate">
<lastmodified format="...">
</fileutils>
- The opening and closing tag names do not match ("fileutil" vs. "fileutils").
- The <lastmodified> tag is not closed.
Even after correcting for these, I get an error message from ant when I run the
target:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<taskdef resource="ise/antelope/tasks/antelope.taskdefs"/>
<target name="test">
<fileutil file="build.xml" property="date.last.modified">
<lastmodified format="yyyy-mm-dd" />
</fileutil>
<echo>${date.last.modified}</echo>
</target>
ts.xml:6: No public execute() in class
ise.antelope.tasks.typedefs.file.FileLength
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have dowloaded and installed AntelopeTasks_3.4.2.jar in the lib directory of
my
%ANT__HOME% directory.
Can anyone offer a useful analysis of the error message and suggest a fix?
Thanks.

Hi Gilbert,
Your example looks just right. That should work with no problems.
