Re: How do I call antcall once per line of file using line value as parameter?

[Paul Taylor]

I did it using Ant-contrib as follows

<target name="Maintask"> 
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/>
<loadfile property="params" srcFile="inputfile"/> 
<foreach list="${params}" delimiter="&#x0A;" target="subtask" 
param="param1"/>
</target>
thanks Paul

(BTW why dont they merge things like foreach into the main ant project, 
its very useful)

Hi, sure simple enough, but cant work out to iterate through lines of 
file, i,e how do I implement the for loop in pseudo code below

<target name="Maintask">
<file name="inputfile"/>
for line in file
<antcall target="subtask"><param name="param1 
value="nextlineoffile"/></antcall> rof
</target>

<target name=Subtask">
<dosomething param="${param1}"/>
