OK, so here's how I did it. It works at least... Can anyone think of a better
way (I think it's kind of ugly)?
<project default="main">
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/>
<taskdef name="unset" classname="ise.antelope.tasks.Unset"/>
<target name="main" description="Find if a single property is contained in a
propertyList">
<md.isInPropList var.propertyList="myDog,yourDog,hisDog,herDog"
var.item="Dog"/>
<echo>${isInList}</echo>
<md.isInPropList var.propertyList="myDog,yourDog,hisDog,herDog"
var.item="myDog"/>
<echo>${isInList}</echo>
<md.isInPropList var.propertyList="myDog,yourDog,hisDog,herDog"
var.item="bigDog"/>
<echo>${isInList}</echo>
</target>
<macrodef name="md.isInPropList" description="Find if a single property is
contained in a propertyList">
<attribute name="var.propertyList"/>
<attribute name="var.item"/>
<sequential>
<!--First get rid of any values left from previous calls to this md-->
<unset name="isInList"/>
<unset name="regExResult"/>
<!--Set var's with the delimiter around them so the search is true-->
<var name="propertyList" value=",@{var.propertyList},"/>
<var name="listItem" value=",@{var.item},"/>
<!--Regex expression that will result in the value if it is in there-->
<propertyregex property="regExResult"
input="${propertyList}"
override="true"
regexp=".*(${listItem})"
select="\1"
casesensitive="true"
/>
<!--If isInList is set to the value of the comma surrounded item, we have
a match-->
<if>
<equals arg1="${regExResult}" arg2="${listItem}"/>
<then>
<property name="isInList" value="true"/>
</then>
<else>
<property name="isInList" value="false"/>
</else>
</if>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
</project>

Subject: Re: If any one from list then
The only think I can come up with is to write a macrodef that is passed a
propertyName and a value to be search if it is contained within:
1) Take the list and add a , to the beginning and , to the end
2) Do a regex on ",${searchString},"
If it's there, the item is contained within the list, set a property to
"true"...

Excellent point.
Delimiting the items in the list may be necessary. Unfortunately, there is not
a containsregexp condition to help with separating the values from the
delimiters and boundaries.
Scriptcondition might be a better alternative if you have the bsf.jar and a
supported language
