Hello Gilbert, read the manual.
it says something about the format of the date understood by touch. in ant 1.6.0 it says : specifies the new modification time of the file in the format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM_or_PM or MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM_or_PM. ant 1.6.3 can accept other patterns which you specify yourself. (the ant 1.6.3beta1 is available for download, the release itself should come soon). see http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/touch.html Cheers, Antoine > > Hi, > > buildfile excerpt = > > > <!-- check if datetimestamp equals now / antcontrib--> > > <if> > <equals arg1="${now}" arg2="${datetimestamp}" /> > <then> > kick off my script > </then> > <else> > <!-- touch the file with value of ${datetimestamp} putting the > file > at the right place in queue --> > <touch file="myfile" datetime="${termin}"/> > </else> > </if> > > > Problem = the touch task takes no property. > > BUILD FAILED > C:\CC_ANT~2\build.xml:72: Unparseable date: "27.04.05/09:34" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
