Works with <fileset> out of the box with 1.4.1 I believe, but you can prove me wrong ;-) --DD

I tried htis, and it works, with one alteration: <path id="version"> <fileset dir="${build.dir}" includes="*.version"/> </path> <property name="version.file" refid="version"/> <property file="${version.file}"/> The refid on a fileset returned a raw .toString() on it which is not useful. Only "PATH like elements" are usefil in properties (at least in Ant 1.4) Regards, Brian. -----Original Message----- From: Dominique Devienne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 4:11 PM To: 'Ant Users List' Subject: RE: How do I load a wilcard properties file? If has you say, the file is unique where you look for it, define a <fileset> that finds it, then convert that <fileset> to a <property>. Then use that property in property file... <fileset id=" propfile " dir="somedir" includes="**/*version.properties" /> <property name="propfile" refid="propfile" /> <property file="${propfile}" /> If the fileset picks up more that one file, or none, it will likely crap out. --DD -----Original Message----- From: Sayatovic, Brian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 3:01 PM To: Ant Users List (E-mail) Subject: How do I load a wilcard properties file? I have a properties file that will be of the form "*version.properties". How can I load properties form this file into Ant? I don't know what the prefix will be and there *should* only be one instance of that file in the directory I want to search. I just don't know the entire name of the file is going to be. As near as I can, the "roperty" task expects a full filename, not a wildcard.
