All,
Can the following be accomplished using properties? I have tried several ways to
do this, but have been unsuccessful. Maybe there is a good reason this is not allowed?
Or maybe someone can suggest an alternative solution.
I would like to retrieve the value of a property using a dynamic name rather than
hard-coding the name in my buildfile. I am doing this because I do not know the range
of possible property values until runtime.
Given a property file named "build.properties" with the following data.
allbuilds 0,1,2
build.0.date 20030319
build.1.date 20030320
build.2.date 20030321
I need to extract the date of a particular build once the user picks a build number to
install. The following code is an example of what I need to do:
<property file="build.properties"/>
<input validargs="${allbuilds}" addproperty="buildnumber" message="Enter build
number to install."/>
<property name="builddate" value="${build.${buildnumber}.date}}"/>
The result should be builddate getting the value of "20030320". Any assistance or
ideas would be greatly appreciated.
