Thank you.
That was my main problem, which allowed me to find other problems.
The function call is "get-major" (as opposed to get_major, which I
originally had). Also, the parameter to these functions needs to be a
System.Version object and not a string.
So the syntax to get just the major portion of the version string
property looks like:
<property name="partNumberMajorInt"
value="${version::get-major(version::parse(version))}" />
<echo>major is ${partNumberMajorInt}</echo>

<property name="partNumberMajor" value="version::get_major(${version})"
/>
is using wrong syntax.. that's why you are not getting the function
substitution you are expecting
should be like value="${version::get_major(version)}"
since it's inside the ${ } already, it will lookup unquoted text as
variables
or functions. If you wanted to use a string in there, use a quoted
string
inside the ()

Subject: [NAnt-users] parsing version string
Hi,
I'm trying to parse my version property to get the individual elements
(major, minor, iteration, ...). My end goal is to take the information
in the version in a format of 1.2.3.4 and turn it into a string that
looks like "010203" (takes each of the major, minor, iteration and
pad-lefts to a length of 2 with the zero char).
I have a property called ${version} in the format of 1.2.3.4. I've been
trying to use the version::get_major() function, but I must be using it
wrong as I can't seem to extract the major number from the version. I'm
trying to create another property:
<property name="partNumberMajor"
value="version::get_major(${version})" />
<echo>major is ${partNumberMajor}</echo>
And all I get back is " [echo] major is
version::get_major(1.0.1.34}"
Then I found the version::parse() function and thought maybe I should be
using that to parse create a Version to pass to get_major(). That did
not seem to work either, even if I hard coded a string for my version:
<echo>major version is
version::get_major(version::parse("1.2.3.4"))</echo>
Am I using these functions incorrectly?
Thanks,
Beth
