I think that is a great idea. It should be as simple as post-processing the output stream and pre-pending the (indent) spaces at the front of each line. It might be easier to create an PrependedStringReader that take a string to pre-pend to each line, and the stream to read from. Then we can just use that everywhere else :)
It might even be useful to provide an option for some kind of custom *StringReader for each kind of program output. It would be cool to use something like the ant cvslog cvsreader to format the output of a cvs command. That way we could get xml, or just nicer looking formatted text. I'm really open to any implementation, just throwing out some idea after an evening at the show ... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Mastracci" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 8:46 PM Subject: [nant-dev] Indenting external program output? > Should the external program tasks indent the output from their > respective programs?
