i was just fooling around when i noticed that ant has an input task but i don't know how to test stuff based on the input given. i guess i want to do something if the user enters yes only but the code below will execute "doit" if the user enters y or n. is there a way to fix it?

Ant conditions resolve to true if the property is set, so you probably need to use an interim property and only set it if the value entered == "yes". have a look at the <equals /> stuff.

After the input task, you need to use the condition task to set a property only when the input was "yes" (or whatever). Check for that property in the "if" of the other target.

Does that help?
