Hey Diane, You sure are an active one on this list. ;) I get like 300 emails a day form various lists, and I must have over 5000 emails in my archive from you (to the list) ;) I thought I could type! Wow!
Anyway, ok, well, there is no "upper limit" per se. I figured that for the most part the build number increases each night by one, plus any manual builds. As this process could occur for more than 60 days, the limit of 99 may not work well if we have several manual builds as well. I figured 255 (for a byte value) would be fine for each of the 4 x.x.x.x. So, I hate to ask you to do this for me, and I'll certainly look into it, but if you can give me a snippet of how to increment one value, as well as conditionally check for a value, reset the value and increment another value, that would be very helpful. I can put the rest together to get the 4 of them working. Thank you very much. -----Original Message----- From: Diane Holt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 12:16 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: Auto-increment a x.x.x.x build number? --- "Duffey, Kevin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just got Ant 1.5.

You couldn't use <buildnumber>, but you could probably do it with a combination of <propertyfile> and <condition>, if you have a separate property for (at least) the last and next-to-last "x". What determines whether the cut-off is 99 or 255? And does the next-to-last "x" have an upper limit, which then affects the next-to-next-to-last, etc.?
