I had the same problem but Jarek sent me this solution.  Try it out, adapt as needed.  Hope this helps.

 

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.

Hi.

I'm looking and looking and just can't find a way to set a property
to the value of output from a program. Or from the content of a file
or any other communicative and dynamic way.

Does anyone have any tips in this area?

What I'm doing is running "svn -Nqu status" and what the revision
line in a property so I can use the property functions to trim it down
to only the number and later use that as information for the build.

I can't communicate with files, I must have a property.
