Trying to catch up on this thread. Are you saying you
want to do something for each line of a file? No
problem. The ResourceCollection API was designed to
return an Iterator partly with the aim of maintaining
compatibility with antcontrib's for and foreach tasks.
Simply use the <tokens> ResourceCollection:
<ac:for param="x">
<tokens>
<file file="${input.file}" />
</tokens>
<sequential>
....
</sequential>
</ac:for>
