Hi!

As I've promised some time ago on the list, I've implemented a simple, yet
very powerful, expression evaluator for NAnt. See below for a full list of
features.
You can now write quite sophisticated expressions, like:

<if test="tolower(${somefilename}) = ${someotherfilename} + '.txt'">
...
</if>

I've added my parser to "NAnt.Core.ExpressionEval" namespace and I've
modified
<if> and <ifnot> tasks to support a new attribute called "test" (named after
XSLT ;-)

It's ultra-easy to add new functions. You simply add new public C# function
in "NAnt/Core/ExpressionEval/ExpressionEvaluator.cs" and it works!

The code should be considered alpha-quality, but should work in most cases.
I've taken some well-tested parts from another project of mine, yet some
parts are new and they may not work correctly in 100% cases.

Can someone please take a look at this patch and commit to CVS if it's ok?

P.S. No NUnit-style unit tests yet, but I'm working on them.

Full list of features:
======================

Data types:
    integer, double, string, boolean and date

Operators:
    and, or, not
    =, <>, <, >, <=, >= (because NAnt is XML I'm considering renaming them
to lt, gt, le, ge)
    unary minus,
    +,-,*,/,%(modulo) with natural precedence, braces (), property access:
${propertyname}

Functions:
    propertyexists(name) - returns true when the property exists, false
otherwise
    propertyvalue(name) - returns the value of the named property, fails
when it's not present

Conversion operators:
    int(a) - converts a to integer (if possible) and returns the value
    double(a) - converts a to double (if possible) and returns the value
    string(a) - converts a to string and returns the value
    date(a) - converts a to date

String functions:

    length(a) - returns the length of the string
    substring(a,b,c) - equivalent to a.Substring(b,c) in .NET
    tolower(s) - returns s converted to lower-case
    toupper(s) - returns s converted to upper-case
    contains(str,subs) - returns true when subs is a substring of str
    indexof(a,b) - equivalent to a.IndexOf(b) in .NET
    padleft(a,b,c) - equivalent to a.PadStart(a,b,c) in .NET
    padright(a,b,c) - equivalent to a.PadEnd(a,b,c) in .NET
    trim(a) - equivalent to a.Trim() in .NET
    trimstart(a) - equivalent to a.TrimStart() in .NET
    trimend(a) - equivalent to a.TrimEnd() in .NET

Math functions:

    round(v)
    floor(v)
    ceiling(v)
    abs(v)

File functions:

    getcreationtime(filename)
    getlastwritetime(file)
    getlastaccesstime(file)
    fileexists(file)
    filesize(file)

Date functions:

    now()
    datediff(d1,d2) - returns date difference in seconds
    dateadd(d1,seconds) - returns d1 + seconds

Here are some examples of things that are known to work, taken from my unit
