Maybe you could copy the file without changing of the timestamp (attribute preservelastmodified). Then do the replace on your file. Then test via <uptodate> if a change happened. Delete the copy
This will only work, if replace does not change the timestamp, in case of no changes.

I would like the build to fail when the replace of a token fails, so that when someone changes the source file such that <replace> does not find any tokens to replace; the incident is caught straight away. Right now replace only supports printing of summary containing number of tokens that were replaced, but this is not good enough for me. Humm...Sounds like i should look up if ant-unit can help me out. I would appreciate any suggestions. (Apart from using resourcecount which is in ANT 1.7) Thanks for your time. -Prashant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
