Hi Brian, Thanks for trying to help, but the key to my problem is that I use usetimestamp="true" in my get task. It means that the file will be downloaded for two cases: 1) The file isn't there to begin with and 2) The file is there but has a time stamp going back further in time than the remote file. Your example handle [1] but not [2], and I really need to handle them both.
More ideas? :-) On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 7:00 PM, Brian Stephenson <[email protected]> wrote: > Kent, > There may be a more direct way to do this, but I accomplish a similar > thing this way (I munged my code to match yours): > > <available file="${destination.file}" type="file" > property="dest.file.present"/> > > Then the targets following can have the "if" attribute in the target: > > <target name="Do_When_File_Is_There" depends="download-ivy" > if="dest.file.present"> > ... > </target> > > With "available", the designated property is not set if the file does not > exist.
