Thanks Steve. What I did is run a perl script that passed the file size back to the ant script, then used the loadfile task.
I am going to try to use just the load file task. It looks like if the file is empty it doesn't set the property. Have to test it out though.

But there is a <filesmatch> condition. If you have a template file that is empty, you could match your target file against that, and so know if it is empty too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
