If all you want to do is get a simple status result, you may want to look at the <antcallback> task (from the ant-contrib project) and use it to set a result property that can be queried from the calling script.
Otherwise to stay with core ANT tasks you can have the subroutine script write their result (via the <echo> task) to a property file which is then read by the caller script. Good luck, Ninju ----- Original Message ---- From: Jeremy Nix <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: user@ant.apache.org Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2006 10:05:55 AM Subject: Determining success/fail from <ant> call I'm currently building a master ant file that will be used to build multiple projects depending on user interaction. I'm wanting to respond to a <ant> call in different ways depending on whether the build completed successfully. I've tried using the output attribute to capture the results of the <ant> command and then parsing the output file looking for "SUCCESS" or "FAILURE", but for some reason the "BUILD ..." statement is not generated with the <ant> task. Has anyone else wanted to perform similar type logic? If so, how have you worked around this? Thanks for any help. -- __________________________________ Jeremy Nix Senior Application Developer Southwest Financial Services, Ltd.
