Hello Markus,
You can always place the 10 files into a .txt file and then use the
foreach task to read in the files and process each one. IE.
<foreach item="Line" in="VssFiles.txt" delim=","
property="vss.project.path,vss.project.file" >
<property name="project.path.file"
value="${vss.project.path}/${vss.project.file}" />
<exec program="regsvr32" workingdir="C:\Windows\System32\"
commandline="/s /u ${vss.project.file}" failonerror="false" />
<vssget
dbpath="\\someserver\data\dev\software\source\vss\srcsafe.ini"
username="${sourcesafe.username}"
password="${sourcesafe.password}"
path="${project.path.file}"
localpath="C:\Windows\System32"
replace="true"
/>
<exec program="regsvr32" workingdir="C:\Windows\System32\"
commandline="/s ${vss.project.file}" />
</foreach>
And then the file would look list this.
$/VCpp/DLL/kcsStream/Bin,kcsStream.dll
$/VCpp/DLL/someotherpath/Bin,someotherfile.dll
...
...
...
This way you only have to update the file if there are more files to add
or remove and the script stays the same.
Hope this helps.
Tim.

Subject: [NAnt-users] How to avoid repeating commands?
My NAnt .build files often have blocks like this in them (this one
checks out a file from a sourcesafe repository):
<exec program="regsvr32" workingdir="C:\Windows\System32\"
commandline="/s /u kcsStream.dll" failonerror="false" />
<vssget
dbpath="\\someserver\data\dev\software\source\vss\srcsafe.ini"
username="${sourcesafe.username}"
password="${sourcesafe.password}"
path="$/VCpp/DLL/kcsStream/Bin/kcsStream.dll"
localpath="C:\Windows\System32"
replace="true"
/>
<exec program="regsvr32" workingdir="C:\Windows\System32\"
commandline="/s kcsStream.dll" />
The bad thing is that there are about 10 files like this that need to be
unregistered, updated and re-registered. I currently don't know of a
better way than to repeat that block 10 times all over.
What I'd like to have is a list of the repository paths of all those
DLLs and just let the above block run on each entry of the list once.
I've taken a thorough look at <FileSet /> and <Path /> but I don't see
any way to use them for that purpose. Isn't there something like a <for
/> tag or so that I can use to iterate over some kind of list?
Thanks,
-Markus-
