Question

Basically what I’ve asked in the title. How can I use the Ant “symlink” command to find out where the symlink is pointing to?

Thanks

Steve

Answer 1

I think the symlink task can only create and remove symlinks. You could execute something like ls -la ${file} | awk '{print $10}' and capture the output with a redirector but this looks like an ugly hack – there should be a better way.
