If the only requirement is to check if the first line of the file is <?xml
version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8' ?> then I don't think you need to use
xmltask. You can do something as follows
<loadfile srcfile="${src.file}" property="src.file.head"> <filterchain>
<filterreader classname="org.apache.tools.ant.filters.HeadFilter"> <param
name="lines" value="1"/> </filterreader> </filterchain>
</loadfile>
Theabove task will load the first line of a file into the property
src.file.head. You can then check if it matches with '<?xml version = '1.0'
encoding = 'UTF-8' ?>'

Subject: Re: verifying encoding value using xmlvalidate task
Hi Dominic,
maybe you should check out the xmltask.

I don't know exactly, but somehow it should be possible to extract the
header and even manipulate it.

Stefan.
