They do, but unfortunately not exactly what Guru needs. They support
for-loops over lists or file sets. Really, he needs something like:
<for lower = "1" upper = "100">
...
</for>
I'm trying to figure out a way to do this using ant/ant-contrib but its
not readily apparent to me (I though it'd be trivial) to make it happen.
What I really need is some form of while loop. I considered using
recursion...but I could see some possible issues with arbitrarily large
iterations (not sure why one would do so...but nonetheless).
Anyway, really I don't think he wants to pre-compute some large list
with a delimiter and then use <for> over the list... At least I don't
want to do that as a solution ;) Yes, I know one could possibly use a
<script>. I am trying to not do that anyway (for reasons related to my
open source project - long story)...

Subject: Implementing a loop in ANT
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.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
