Hello, mine 2 cents to this: - first I liked those pipe idea proposed - but Gary is mostly right - there is alot stuff possible via output/append - only missing is input redirection? <exec program="cmd1" output="${filename}" /> <exec program="cmd2" output="${filename}" append="True" /> <exec program="cmd3" output="${filename}" input="${filename}" /> - last line in example should be equivalent for pipe - intermediate files are cached by system, so no big slowdown I think. Not important IMHO. - I'd disagree with Gary in some points like - NAnt is great in flow control. - external shells could be hell. I personally trying to do all stuff in NAnt. - external shells are hard to maintain and port to other OS, NAnt script is not.
