Ant1.5.4: How to "accumulate" values into a string?

["Karr, David" <da...@wamu.net>]

Is there any way to "accumulate" values into a stringbuffer and then
later get back the accumulation?  I can't do this with properties, as
they apparently can't be used that way.

I have a target that is going to call another target several times, each
time passing a parameter.  In that target, I want to store the parameter
so that after the main target has finished calling the subtarget N
times, I want to then extract what has been accumulated.

You could echo the strings to a temporary file (using append mode) & then 
load the file into a property once all the antcall invocations are 
complete.
