hello, maybe one of these solutions may help. use an id for the properties and create an help-property for the filter-value:
<project name="bsp004" default="main" basedir="."> <property name="application.environment" value="dev"/> <property name="application.dev.property1" value="hello" id="dev"/> <property name="application.production.property1" value="foo" id="production"/> <target name="main" > <property name="filter" refid="${application.environment}"/> <echo>${filter}</echo> </target> </project> If you won't use a different id instead of the name, you can use the same name and id for an property. but you will need a secondhelper property: <project name="bsp005" default="main" basedir="."> <property name="application.environment" value="production"/> <property name="application.dev.property1" value="hello" id="application.dev.property1"/> <property name="application.production.property1" value="foo" id="application.production.property1"/> <target name="main" > <property name="help" value="application.${application.environment}.property1"/> <property name="filter" refid="${help}"/> <echo>${filter}</echo> </target> </project> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 6:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: $${${}} Hello all, I would like to know if their is a way to do this with Ant: build.properties file: application.environment=dev application.dev.property1=hello application.production.property1=foo build.xml file: ... <filter token="message" value="${application. ${application.environment}.property1}"/> ... Thus the property would change according to the environment target. Is it possible?
