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.

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.?

Diane
