Thanks Matt, I've tried the code that you have given and it works. But what I
am really after is being able to set a flag if the file contains one or more
lines of text. So I was hoping to get the line count and then check if it is
greater than 0.
I took a look at the ANT user manual for the resourcecount task, and noticed
the "when" and "count" attributes.
<resourcecount property="file.line.count.not.zero.flag" when="greater"
count="0" >
<tokens>
<file file="file_name.txt" />
</tokens>
</resourcecount>
I tried using the above code snippet hoping that I could set the
file.line.count.not.zero.flag flag, if the line count was greater than 0.
But it does not work the way I intended it. It just stores the line count in
the file.line.count.not.zero.flag property regardless of wether the line count
is greater than 0 or not. I was hoping to be able to set the flag, so that I
could use it later on in my ANT script as a condition to check before running
certain tasks.

How not, Peter?
Anyway, I didn't have time to put together the example
earlier. Here goes:
<resourcecount>
<tokens><!-- default tokenizer is a line tokenizer
-->
<file file="file_name.txt" />
</tokens>
</resourcecount>
