/*
 <!-- make sure the property is a string of chars, will return
    false if it's set to 12345 or also if property is an empty string ""
-->
<assert matches="\w+" property="testproperty"/>
  */

forget this nonsense, had a visit to the dentist that morning ;-)
  
Of course \w+ would match all aplhanumeric chars, means
[a-zA-Z_0-9]

so you go like that =

<project name="bla" default="main" basedir=".">
  <!-- // Taskdefs -->
  <!-- Import AntXtras -->
  <taskdef resource="com/idaremedia/antx/install/antlib.xml"/>
  <!-- Taskdefs // -->

  <!-- // Properties -->
  <property name="testproperty" value="foobar"/>
  <!-- Properties // -->

    <target name="depends">

<!-- assure the property isset -->
<assert isset="testproperty"/>
<!-- assure the property isset and not empty -->
<assert notequals="" property="testproperty" msg="Property empty !!"/>
      
      <echo>
        Yup, $${testproperty} set to ${line.separator} =>
${testproperty}
      </echo>
        
    </target>

    <target name="main" depends="depends"/>
</project>

means all you need is one assert =
<assert notequals="" property="testproperty"/>

true if property ain't empty, so it must also be set

I'm no expert for AntXtras, see the UserGuide and
QuickStart for other stuff.
