Thanks Marc, that's a good reference for storing the property form within the groovy step. My problem, however, is that I actually have the variable value stored as part of a filename of an empty file. (although the propertyfile task looks interesting for storing the properties, there's still the issue of binding time....i'll explore this later....). So, I don't know the syntax for actually doing the groovy equivalent of a 'ls' system command, and i haven't seen any comprehensive groovy references (i've looked, believe me). It didn't appear to me that the methods you use above would actually do the equivalent of an ls. Also - the ls-equivalent must support globbing, as the filenames are stored like: [known-key].[unknown-value]. Any help would be most appreciated. thanks mike
