I see that I can do that with <printenv>, but for some reason it also attaches the two # lines and josh.test=. All I want is the a,b,c,d. stringtest: [printenv] # [printenv] #Wed Jul 25 13:08:49 IDT 2007 [printenv] josh.test=a,b,c,d I see that there is a way to manipulate printers with the <printer> task, but I don't follow at all what to do. [Do I need to know java to use this task?] Also, <printenv> does not support printing using a specific printer. Only <print> does that, but print doesn't have the option to write to a file, as far as I can tell. I'd very much appreciate any help.

I may be wrong about what you are trying to do, but I have found that ant with antcontrib and antXtra is the way to go. It makes ant more of a shell language with more logical controls. http://antxtras.sourceforge.net/index.html Hope this helps, if you are not using them already.

First time writing to the list. I'm working for a Software Design company that works primarily in JAVA. I work in the Production department, and started using ANT a month or two ago to automate our processes. So - I am stuck on something I would like to create a documentation of my processes thru a CSV file. The way my ANT works, I use a loop to process each file individually, and the various details about the file [name, path, datemodified, action performed with the file, etc] are echoed to a file with comma delimiters to allow for filtering and sorting in Excel. Here's my problem, I currently echo a full string of variables for each file in each area I process files in different ways. The problem with this is that if I want to make a change, I need to change the string of variables in every location I create this log. I'd like to be able to have some form of reference to a string that I can call in various places, but only need to change in one. Making a property with other properties doesn't work because properties sets the value with the ${} and doesn't allow for them to be replaced. I'd appreciate if anyone has any ideas. I hope that my description is clear. If not, please ask away ...
