Question

i have a small peice of code which prints if platform is unix or windowsas

<if>
<equals=${arg1} value="linux-86"/>
<then>
<echo message="linux"
<then>
<elseif>
<equals=${arg1} value="linux-64"/>
<then>
<echo message="linux"/>
</then>
</elseif>
<else>
<echo message="Windows">
</else>
</if>

Here we can see we are unnecessarily checking first two conditions for same message,is there any OR operator in ant like we have in c ||,so that we can write arg1=linux-64||linux-86….if there is please tell me how should i use this will save up lot of time here

Answer 1

<condition property="WinPlatform.Check">
        <or>
            <equals arg1="${param1}" arg2="win-x86"/>
            <equals arg1="${param1}" arg2="win-x86-client"/>
            <equals arg1="${param1}" arg2="win-x64"/>
        </or>
    </condition>

<target name="Mytarget" if="WinPlatform.Check">
        <echo message="executing windows family build:::${param1}"/>
    </target>

now call Mytarget with your parameter,it will work
