Hello,

I've executed an external command using ant's <exec ...> task and now have the 
resulting output in a file.

How can I then step through this output file and get the values on each line which I 
then need to use as parameter input to a repeated task ?

EG - my output file contains the following:
--
fred
bob
alice
--

I therefore need to call a target "xyz" 3 times, with $(arg)=fred first, then 
$(arg)=bob etc 

Or maybe my output should be dumped into a property ? Even then, how do I cycle 
through the output list ?

Or am I looking at writing a <taskdef ...> from scratch ?
