Question

I have a text file that contains version information. There are multiple lines, but the specific line i need looks like this:

#define SW_VERSION "3.4.3.1 R3    08-06-12"

I specifically need the 3.4.3.1 R3 from the text file.

My first thought was to do execute a short script that would grab this data out and use a set for later use, though i am having quite a bit of trouble getting it to work.

I ran this: Find /I "#define SW_VERSION" C:\SW\bin\SW_Version.txt
and it showed me the line in the file that i expected, but i couldn’t figure out how to parse it afterwards. Help?

Answer 1

You can write a custom task for Ant.

Your custom task would parse the version line and extract the information you need.
