Re: [nant-dev] Loop task delimiters

It looks like a lot of places in the NAnt code use commas to separate 
multiple values.  Perhaps:

<foreach item="Line" in="C:\foo.txt" delim="," property="x,y">

?

I don't think xml lets you have multiple attributes of the same name in the
same element. I'm fine with the idea of multiple properties per line, but
what would be a natural way to express this in valid xml?

Subject: [nant-dev] Loop task delimiters
 

Should we change the following lines in the LoopTask?  Currently, the
string is split based on a single delimiter.  Since String.Split()
supports a character array, we can remove the char array [0] indexer and
have it split on any character in the "delim" property.  I can fix this
and check it in, if noone objects:
                   case ItemTypes.String: {
                       if(Delimiter != null && Delimiter.Length > 0) {
                           string[] items =
   

_source.Split(Delimiter.ToCharArray()[0]);
 

                           foreach(string s in items)
                               DoWork(s);
                       }
                       else
                           throw new BuildException("Invalid delim: " +
   

_delim, Location);
 

                       break;
                   }
becomes:

                   case ItemTypes.String: {
                       if(Delimiter != null && Delimiter.Length > 0) {
                           string[] items =
   

_source.Split(Delimiter.ToCharArray());
 

                           foreach(string s in items)
                               DoWork(s);
                       }
                       else
                           throw new BuildException("Invalid delim: " +
   

_delim, Location);
 

                       break;
                   }
It would also be nice if we could support delim and multiple properties
for the foreach item="line" task to parse a file with (potentially)
multiple items per line.  Something along the lines of:
<foreach item="Line" in="C:\foo.txt" delim="," property="x" property="y">
 <echo message="copying ${x} to ${y}"/>
 ...
</foreach>
How does this sound?
