Matt, That's not bad! Thanx for the tip. I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure it will most likely work. I'll work that into my build once I fix an unrelated bug that was dropped into my lap a moment ago. Thanx again. --- Clifton C. Craig, Software E

Just for the record, the word is "purist" - Mary, Mother of Jesus, is reported to have be "the purest". :) Um, Clifton, the first solution I showed you is 100%, pure, core ANT. It does involve a file read. I have a similar issue in my current project that necessitates writing properties to
