How to Echo a file contents?

["koden (sent by Nabble.com)" <li...@nabble.com>]

If I have a text file, how do I echo the text inside of it using an Ant Task?  The echo task can echo to a file, but can it echo a file's contents?

You can also use concat (avoids out of memory errors with big files).

Load the file into a property with <loadfile>, then <echo> the property 
value.
