Sorry for dely in replying... I tried tstamp ant task, but it gives me the
date and time in the format I specify in pattern, while I wanted a long
value produced by  System.currentTimeMillis() in the created file.

Thanks for your response.

Did you look at the tstamp task?

            <tstamp>
<format property = "some-property" pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss"/>
            </tstamp>

Just to inform the list, I was not able to wokout this problem using standard Ant task, I had to write small custom Ant task to solve this problem -- which in fact I was trying to avoid ;-)

Hi all,

I have searched the archives, but I am not able to get the answer of my question. My problem is I want to create a file say "foo" and store current time as long value in that using Ant.

For example :

long myvar = System.currentTimeMillis();

would produce a long value of current date time, which I want to store in "foo"

I created the file :

        <target name="create.foo">
             <touch file="foo" />
        </target>

But I am not sure, I to store date time as long value into that file.. Does some have any idea ?

Regards,
Ravi.
