Echo a single line of an SvnAnt error message using Ant

If the SvnAnt <export> has an error, the Ant <loadfile> task will show all of it on the console.

<svn refid="svn.settings" logFile="C:/Logfile.log">
    <export destpath="LOCAL Location" srcUrl="Source Url" />
</svn>
<loadfile property="svnLog" srcFile="C:/Logfile.log"/>
<echo>${svnLog}</echo>

[echo] <Export> started ...
[echo] export --no-auth-cache -r HEAD https://lbsm8-svn.path.local/svn/DB_Scripts/SCRIPTS/Reporting/FTR/ORAX/ftr1241000000430105_orax.pbd D:\Copyof\anttt\RET\ORA

Can I only show this from the logfile and disregard the rest?

[echo] svn: E170000: URL'https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/commons/content/proper/commons-rng'
Solution

  • The <linecontains> FilterChain can be given to <loadfile> to extract just the line you want from the file:

    <loadfile property="svnLog" srcFile="C:/Logfile.log">
    <filterchain>
        <linecontains>
            <contains value="svn: E170000:"/>
        </linecontains>
    </filterchain>
</loadfile>
<echo>${svnLog}</echo>

    Output

    [echo] svn: E170000: URL'https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/commons/content/proper/commons-rng'
