using input task with file instead of message

[Jason Novotny <no...@aei.mpg.de>]

Hi,

    According to our lawyers, we need to distribute a license agreement 
that gets displayed before the software can be used. I want to simply 
display our license which is stored as a plain text file and then say 
something like: Hit yes or no using the input ant task. Any ideas how to 
do this, without having to duplicate our license within the build.xml file?

    Thanks, Jason

Use loadfile:
  <loadfile property="message" srcfile="license.txt"/>
   <input
    message="${message}${line.separator}Is this ok (y/n)?"
    validargs="y,n"
    addproperty="license.ok"
  />
