how to find the drive name from a file fath ?

["Md. Jahidul Hasan" <ja...@bjitgroup.com>]

Is there any task to find the drive name from a given file/directory path
? "dirname"  task can't help in this regards as it takes the full path
until that filename. I only need that drive name.

Thanks
Hasan

Ant 1.7.0, untested:

<property name="normalizedPath"
location="${givenPath}" />
<pathconvert>
  <first>
    <tokens>
      <string value="${normalizedPath}" />
      <stringtokenizer delims="${file.separator}" />
    </tokens>
  </first>
</pathconvert>

If by chance you want to work with svn trunk, it is
compatible with the experimental props antlib that
intends to provide this functionality inside a
property expression.

HTH,
Matt
