Getting program outputs into ant value?
Posted by Brad Cox <bc...@virtualschool.edu>.
Pardon what must be a newbie question; I'm new to this.
I provide MD5 checksums within the download page for the Java+
Preprocessor (http://virtualschool.edu/java+). I've been editing them
in manually but would like to automatate this step.
I understand I can write this in index.html
<dt><a href="JavaPlus.tgz">Binary Distribution</a> md5:@md5.bin</dt>
and filtering will patch it in
<filter token="md5.bin" value="..."/>
But how do I get the output of running md5 on this file into the ... above?
PS: I know about the <checksum> in the latest release. I want to
stick with 1.4.x for the nonce, and besides, <checksum> puts it in a
file which leaves me where I started.

To be explicit, if you only need to set environment
variables for the duration of the Ant build, you will
presumably be using the
<property environment="prefix" /> task. Then you can,
in a way, set environment variables for use in the
build. If you want to override the environment
setting for a property "ABC", for example, merely
specify
<property name="prefix.ABC" value="value" /> prior to
the
<property environment="prefix" /> task. If you want
the environment setting to take precedence, reverse
that order. The immutability of properties inherent
in Ant will set precedence accordingly.

- In the exec task, it is possible to set environment variables as nested
elements.
http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTasks/exec.html
- I don't know if ant can change its own set of environment variables while
running.
If you are making a build file where a number of tasks are going to require
some environment variables,
maybe you should make a wrapper shell script for your build file which sets
the environment variables.

Whoops, my bad. I had just read the page on environment variables
yesterday, and read Klara's words faster than my brain could process them.

Huh?
Klara asked if it was possible to *set* environment variables with Ant.
That page refers to the environment variables that the Ant wrapper
scripts use.
No, its not really possible to set environment variables within Ant
that persist outside its execution - at least not in a cross-platform
way. But launching programs from within Ant can take on new
environment variables for the duration of that spawned execution.
