Thanks for your reply and help Jan, I'm still not clear.
All 3 files have to be copied to 3 different subfolders.
So file1.qa, file2.qa, and file3.qa or with .staging extension would be fine as
long as I'm building for those 2 environment. But when it comes to production
I have to copy, say, file1.prod.uk (sometimes prod.us, etc) and file2.prod and
file3.prod to different folders for the production build, I don't see how
${selected} could possess 2 values simutaneously (prod and prod.uk) in your
example. Am I missing something or did I minunderstand? Please
<property name="selected" value="qa" description="Default is doing QA"/>
<copy todir="some/dir">
<fileset dir="properties" includesfile="includes.${selected}"/>
</copy>
$ant -Dselected=qa
