Re: *****spam***** RE: properties handling problem

[Geoffrey Mitchell <ge...@homedecorators.com>]

Ant _does_ expand macro parameters the way you want, however (this 
discrepancy is unintuitive and baffling to me, but that's another 
story).  So, you could make the part that checks availability a 
macrodef, passing in ${hostname} and ${num} as arguments.  You will then 
be able to reference ${@{hostname}_@{num}} (assuming args named same as 
original properties) within your macro.

This works in ant 1.6.2 anyway.
