Help!!! How to verify if archive has some content

Hello!

	I want to verify if my archive contains some content. Something like this:

	if( ! myFileContains("myToken" ) )
		buildFail();

	
	There is any way to do this using ANT??

Thanks,

Regis Melo

You can use the combination of <loadfile/> and 
<condition><contains/></condition>
as in:
  <target name="contains">
    <loadfile property="file.contents" srcfile="file.txt"/>
    <condition property="file_has_seach_string">
      <contains string="${file.contents}" substring="${search.string}"/>
    </condition>
    <echo message="has string: ${file_has_seach_string}"/>
  </target>
