Again, I really appreciate all the advice I'm getting, but being so inexperienced with Ant, I'm still missing the solution.
The properties file I refer to is not in any way related to my Ant tasks. But it does contain a URL I would like to use in my Ant script, so I can keep that URL in one place. So what are the commands/XML to extract the key in the following key-value pair ... PROVISIONING_SERVICE_WSDL_URL=http://99.99.99.99:9999/ProvisioningAccountService/ProvisioningAccountService?WSDL in my "file.properties" file that will allow me to plug in that URL into the "wsdl" attribute of my "<clientgen>" task?
