Good Afternoon Folks,
I was just playing around with this and I was able to do it with a C#
script function in a target:
<target name="getUserInput">
<script language="C#" prefix="build">
<code><![CDATA[
[Function("getInput")]
public static string getInput()
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter a string:
");
string s = Console.ReadLine();
return s.ToString();
}
]]></code>
</script>
<property name="_str" value="${build::getInput()}" />
<echo message="----> Input String: ${_str}" />
</target>
Executing this on my machine produces the following output:
C:\>nant -f:test.build getUserInput

This stores the input into a property and you can do whatever you like
with it after that.
I hope this helps,
Mike

Subject: [NAnt-users] Input prompting ...
Nant Users,
Is there a task that can be used to prompt a user for input of a
property? I'd like to design some tasks which will prompt the user for
input of a property if the property was not specified on the command
line. I looked in both Nant and NantContrib and didn't see anything.
Am I missing something?
