How to find a key is avaiable in property file

[Kaarthick Ramamoorthi]

Hi,

I have a properties file with key/value continue=y. My requirement is to first find whether the key is avialable in this file and If it is available they I have to get the value.

I tried <isset> but it does not work out. Is there any element available to find the key?

Thanks
Kaarthick

Can you not just use the Java Properties class?

Kaarthick,
How did you load the property file into Ant? <isset> should work if you have loaded it correctly. Can you show the code?

Martijn,
If something can be done in native Ant, why would you want to insert Java code in a build script?

You wouldn't, I was subtlety trying to get Kaarthick to state that he was using ANT

Too subtle .
