Again, I haven't tested this but based on the online docs for the "for" and "foreach" I read this:

"The delimiter characters that separates the values in the "list" attribute. Each character in the supplied string can act as a delimiter. This follows the semantics of the StringTokenizer class."

However - I just ran a test and its not working...

So I used \\r\\n - it didn't break the lines up correctly.

No.. If we write "\r\n" , then it will take both 'r' and 'n' as delimiters ..
So it cant distinguish end of line..
In @{letter} I am getting whole file content..

Btw In project properties file , the output of "dir /b" will be there....
That is all d directories in that directory will be there..

Hello I have an ant script which reads from file "project.properties"

The code snippet is below

<loadfile property="src" srcFile="project.properties" />
<fixcrlf file="project.properties" eol="dos" fixlast="true" />
<for param="letter" list="${src}" delimiter="">
 <sequential>
   <echo>@{letter}</echo>
</sequential>
</for>

I want to read line by line. I am not getting what should I give in the
delititer attribute of for task..
pls tel me  the delimiter attribute value so that for each loop @{letter}
contains one line from from file..
