Well, I've tried location but even if the input property is an absolute path like /usr/tmp, Ant will append basedir and create a property /my/basedir/usr/tmp. I'm using Ant 1.6.2 on Linux.

Ben -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 1:10 PM To: user@ant.apache.org Subject: how to detect relative or absolute path value My Ant script needs to know if a property value is a relative or absolute path in order to decide if to prepend a root path or not. Can Ant do this without custom tasks?
