<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 () -----Original Message----- From: Beth Hechanova [mailto:bhechan...@imsco-us.com] Sent: Fri 1/30/2009 8:55 PM To: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net 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?
