You cannot copy an XML element into a property.
If you modify the path to be:
/book/level1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'...']/text()
to get the text node i.e. the text within the <level1> element. Of course
that's currently blank.
Or if you use:
/book/level1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'...']/@name
and provide attrValue="true" to get the value of the @name attribute, then
you'll get
Mhdk General Help
The following should do both:
<target name="main">
<xmltask source="flash_help_toc.xml" report="true">
<copy path="/book/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Mhdk General Help']/text()"
property="mhdk.help.element"/>
<copy path="/book/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Mhdk General Help']/@name"
attrValue="true" property="mhdk.help.attr"/>
</xmltask>
<echo message="mhdk.help.element : ${mhdk.help.element}"/>
<echo message="mhdk.help.attr : ${mhdk.help.attr}"/>
</target>
