solution1:
<target name="check-abc">
<available file="abc.txt" property="abc.present"/>
</target>
<target name="do-if-abc" depends="check-abc" if="abc.present">
...
</target>
solution2
One option would be to use an appropriate <fileset> and loop over it
with <for>, but <for> requires ant-contrib.
<property name="syncreport.exists" value="false" />
<property name="syncreport.exists" value="true" />
Hi Francis Galiegue & Gilbert ,
Thanks a lot for replying. I got it done taking inputs from all your
comments.
Below is the code that is working fine.
<target name="check-abc">
<for param="file">
<path>
<fileset id="file.exist" dir="." includes="*.txt"/>
</path>
<sequential>
<echo> file list::: @{file} </echo>
<available file="@{file}" property="abc.present"/>
</sequential>
</for>
</target>
<target name="do-if-abc" depends="check-abc" if="abc.present">
<echo> true</echo>
</target>
Thanks a lot again for helping.
Regards
Sri
