These prompt for a (relative or absolute) path, and conditionally set a
property based on directory existence, and echo a message that reports
whether there's a directory at the given path:
<target name="ask_for_path_and_echo_existence"
depends="exists,does_not_exist"/>
<target name="ask_for_dir">
<input message="Enter path:" addproperty="PATH"/>
<property name="ABSOLUTE_PATH" location="${PATH}"/>
<available file="${ABSOLUTE_PATH}" type="dir"
property="DIR.present"/>
</target>
<target name="exists" depends="ask_for_dir" if="DIR.present">
<echo message="Directory exists: ${ABSOLUTE_PATH}"/>
</target>
<target name="does_not_exist" depends="ask_for_dir"
unless="DIR.present">
<echo message="Directory does NOT exist, or not a directory:
${ABSOLUTE_PATH}"/>
</target>
Hope this helps,
