Sorry I didn't give enough info. Since I'm a relative newbie to ant I create a pipeline task not relying on any other target. So in the example below my workflow looks like the following:
unzip archive of xml files filter xml files parse xml files (will create CSV\csvArt.xml if there are any type="articles") <exec> bcp csv to SQLServer So what I wanted to insert in my flow was <available file="CSV\csvArt.xml" property="artAvailable" /> after the parse xml files then test the value of artAvailable and if true <exec> bcp into SQLServer Is this possible? or a pointer to an example or tutorial.
