Eric-
property is immutable by definition so you cannot 'reset' it as you are
attempting to do here
2 choices:
1)set another property (property with another name) to whitespace stripped
variable
2)suggest to gert driesen the ability to capture information in a mutable
'variable' which was introduced into the ant-contrib
some years ago
Good Luck

Subject: [Nant-users] string::trim
I'm trying to remove spaces from a string and use it
as a property. Any clue why the following won't work:
<project name="test" default="default" >
<property name="myString" value="String With Spaces"/>
<target name="default">
<property name="stringNoSpace"
value="${string::trim(myString)}"/>
<echo message="${stringNoSpace}"/>
</target>
</project>
My Return:
