I can see both sides of the argument - as an alternative, could you not put it in the NAnt.exe.config as an app setting? Maybe something like "nant.echo.appendnewline" This would allow the end user to chose the behaviour required, and avoid possibility of having to add a skipNewline attribute

Check out the fileset functions in NantContrib (http://nantcontrib.sourceforge.net/release/latest/help/functions/index.html ) There's a couple of functions there that will tell you the number of files in a fileset, and also convert it to a delimited string so you can see what files are in there

Hi Robert.   NAnt handles this slightly differently to Ant.  With Nant, you use the task which is basically the same as in Ant to include another build file.  This can contain properties, scripts, targets etc.  Basically, you need to set up a .build file with all your properties in, def
