I see that in the documentation; however it's not working for me.
My properties file:
script_dir=C:\\working\\scripts;
test_Dir=${script_dir}\\myDir
My target:
<target name="propstest">
<echo>script_dir property: ${script_dir}</echo>
<echo>test_Dir property: ${test_Dir}</echo>
</target>
My output (ant -f test.xml -propertfile test.properties propstest
propstest:
[echo] script_Dir property: C:\working\scripts
[echo] test_Dir property: ${script_dir}\myDir
Am I doing something wrong? This is on Windows XP by the way.

Yes that works, thanks! Still like to figure out why the other ain't
working, though...
