This should be simple, but I can’t find how to do this (or maybe it’s not possible).

In MSBuild I have an ItemGroup that is a list of files.
I want to execute a task only if a particular file is in that ItemGroup

Something like:

<Copy Condition="@(Files) <contains> C:\MyFile.txt" .... />

Any way to do this? Preferably without writing a custom task.

Edit: The list of files is only to do with the condition. Otherwise it has no relation to the task.
