You could use <loadfile> to read the file into a property then use the contains <condition> in the condition task to check for the string.
If the file is big then you probably want to use a filterchain to subset it. -Alec -----Original Message----- From: Rob Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 1:51 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: Fail if file does not contains a string?
