RE: [Nant-users] FileFunctions Class

[McCullough, Gary]

I like it. I was going to suggest something similar, but more general. A “read” task that could read from various sources into a property. You could read a file, read a url, read an xpath, etc.   <read property=”foobar” type=”url” source=http://mywebsite/mywebservice.aspx />   <read property=”foobar” type=”file” source=”c:\myfolder\myfile.txt” />   Etc.   Gary McCullough  From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Devin Grant Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 2:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Nant-users] FileFunctions Class     Can somebody please add a new function call “get-text” to the FileFunctions class?   Example: [Function("get-text")] public string GetText(string fileName) {   string text = "";     if (File.Exists(fileName))      text = GetTextFromFile(fileName);     return text; }   private static string GetTextFromFile(string fileName) {   string text = "";     if (File.Exists(fileName))      text = GetTextFromFile(new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read));     return text; }   private static string GetTextFromFile(System.IO.Stream fileStream) {   string text = "";     using(StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(fileStream))   {      text = reader.ReadToEnd();   }   fileStream.Close();     return text;  }   Devin Grant Automation Tech Lead TEL:  1-248-449-2135 FAX:  1-248-449-2021 [EMAIL PROTECTED] autodesk®
