There's a trick that uses <foreach> task. Taken from my build script:
<target name="installer">
<foreach item="Line" in="version.txt" delim="."
property="sooda.major,sooda.minor,sooda.revision,sooda.build">
... do something with the properties ...
</foreach>
</target>
This will read ALL lines from "version.txt" (there's only one and that's the
trick) and set sooda.* properties appropriately.
See <foreach> task documentation for more info. Hope it helps.
