If you use xmltask then you can call an Ant target for each file location, using something like:

<call path="/files/file/Location" target="antTarget">
  <param name="filename" path="../@name"/>
  <param name="type" path="../@type"/>
</call>

to call an Ant target 'antTarget' for each location, with the properties "filename" and "type" set appropriately. Note that I haven't tested the above, so it may require some tweaking.

Hi
I have an xml file similar to this
<files>
  <file name="a.jar" type="jar">
      <Location>"c:/1"</Location>
      <Location>"c:/2"</Location>
  </file>
  <file name="b.conf" type="conf">
      <Location>"e:/1"</Location>
      <Location>"e:/2"</Location>
      <Location>"e:/3"</Location>
  </file>   </files>

Based on the file name and type I need to perform certain operations on the file. How do I iterate through this xml and retrieve a set of "locations" for a particular file i.e for file a.jar the locations are c:/1,c:/2

When I use XMLProperty task and For loop from ant-contrib I get separate lists for file.name, file.type and file.location.
for e.g
file.name=a.jar,b.conf
file.type=jar,conf
file.location=c:/1,c:/2,e:1,e:2,e:3


I need to identify the locations associated with a particular file. How can I do this?

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Anand
