I use ANT 1.4.1 on Windows 2000.
I need to compare two properties (build number) that I take from a two
different build.properties file.
I have two installation in the different directory (d:/app1 and d:/app2) and
I would like to compare if this is the same build. For this I have a sign of
build number into the build.properties file under buildNumber key (e.g.
buildNumber=200202031611).
The part of build.xml target is a following:

<target name="compare_build_number">
    <property name="build.prop.1" value="d:/app1/build.properties"/>
    <property name="build.prop.2" value="d:/app2/build.properties"/>
    <property file="${build.prop.1}"/>
    <property name="app1_ver" value="${buildNumber}"/>
    <property file="${build.prop.2}"/>
    <condition property="it_is_the_same_build">
        <equals arg1="${app1_ver"}" arg2="${buildNumber}"/>
    </condition>
. . .

I expected two defined values, app1_ver is a buildNumber of first
application (d:/app1/build.properties) and buildNumber is a buildNumber of
second application (d:/app2/build.properties), before a <condition> task and
I could to compare this values. But it is not happened.  The second
"<property file=" does not work. I tried to separate this target to two
different targets which use "<property file=" each one. It was not helped. I
tried to use "<property resource=" instead of "<property file=". It was not
helped.
What is wrong in my build.xml?
What I missed?
And what is the difference between <property resource=" and "<property
file=" ?
Thanks.
Lev.
