<loadfile srcfile="K:\test\bla.txt" property="${servrestart}">
\ is an escape character (at least for the majority of XML parsers)
\\ is the '\' character
property="Whatever this is" will always echo as "Whatever this is"
strip away the string quotes and Ant will be able to parse the property and
it's contents
in other words

Gilbert -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 1:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: txtfile with various lines Basically <loadfile property="prop" srcfile="file.txt"> <filterchain> <linecontainsregexp> <regexp pattern="^Server"/> </linecontainsregexp> </filterchain> </loadfile> should do the job. - load the content of the file into a property - but ignore all lines which doesnt start with "Server" And if there is no line, <loadfile> wont set the property.
