RE: [Nant-users] using the < operator causes an error.

[Hart, Leo]

I believe that because the NAnt config file is XML, you need to escape the XML 
character '<', so:

<if test="${'b' &lt; 'a'}">
  <echo message="wrong"/>
</if>

Subject: [Nant-users] using the < operator causes an error.


Hi, I am new to Nant.  When I try to use the < operator to compare 2 strings or 
numbers, it gives me an error.  The > operator works fine. I am using RC3 on 
winXP.
 
Example:
<if test="${'b' < 'a'}">
  <echo message="wrong"/>
</if>
 
Error Message:
Error loading buildfile. '<', hexadecimal value 0x3c, is an invalid attribute 
character.
 
It runs fine when I do this:
<if test="${'b' > 'a'}">
  <echo message="right"/>
</if>
 
Thanks in advance!
