You will need to enable nested property expansion.ant-contrib has a Property
Helper class to expand nested properties. You will need to include this library
in your ant class path and also specify something similar to follows
<propertyhelper> <nested/> </propertyhelper>

I am sorry that was a typo when i posted it. That was not the problem.
My properties file- new.properties contains.
prod.eg=1
dev.eg=2
I am trying to access these properties in a echo.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name= "echo" default="echoeg">
<property name="env" value="${env}"/>
<target name="echoeg" description="">
<property file="new.properties"/>
<echo message="${${env}.eg}"/> -----> does not work
</target>
</project>
From command line i do this.
ant -f echo.xml -Denv= prod
I expect the echo to display 1. It does not happen. How else can i access
that value?
