True, however, unless the timestamp is recomputed it won't matter... Meaning the timestamp will be the same for each use of the property containing the initially computed timestamp.

2008/7/10 Scot P. Floess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Properties are immutable in Ant.  In your example, even if properties were
mutable, the timestamp would not be recomputed - you'd have to re-execute
the tstamp task.  The only way you can have this recomputation is by using a
second property as someone else has responded...

Hi,

Here is the problem I am now facing:

<project default='init'>

  <target name='init'>
          <tstamp>
                  <format property='TSTAMP' pattern='MM/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS
z'/>
          </tstamp>
          <echo file='Time-Log.txtl' append='yes'> ${TSTAMP}</echo>
          <buildnumber file='${builddeployv3.dir}/build.number'/>
          <echo>ant.version:  '${ant.version}'</echo>
          <echo>ant.home:  '${ant.home}'</echo>
          <echo>java.version:  '${java.version}'</echo>
<echo file='Time-Log.sql' append='yes'> ${TSTAMP}</echo>
  </target>
</project>

Here the time values are added to a file.
Where the file has the same time value twice. But i need to have different
time values with a single <tstamp> element and property. How property
values
can be changed dynamically?

Appreciate your suggestion to solve this problem.

Thanks,
Sukanya
