Ant-Contrib's <for> accepts any type which exposes an iterator() method I believe, so you'd have to write a Java task or <scriptdef> to create such an <integer-range> type.
You could also try a recursive <macro> or <antcall> (with proper stopping condition ;-) that writes the numbers to a file, and then <loadfile> it. Using a little <script> to generate the series in a property would probably be easier though. --DD On 6/7/06, Guru Balse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am sure this question has been asked before, and I could not see any reasonable answer in the archives. How can I implement a loop in ANT without using scripts? For example, if I want to call a certain target N times, how can I do it? Using ant-contrib is OK. Of course, something like <for list="1,2,3,4,5,6,...,N"> would work but I want N to be a property that can be specified in the command line.
