In my project some the source files will be created by using the C preprocessor first, which replaces the #include directives with the content of the referenced file. In my Ant task I'm executing an external script which calls cpp. Obviously this requires a UNIX environment. Is Ant able to perform this OS independent? There's a replace task which replaces a given string with another. If I could define a property to carry the contents of a file as its value, then replace would help. (I don't need a parameterized #include). Another solution would be if Ant had something like Thanks, Oliver More>>

Write a small customized ant task will easily accomplish your goal. Remember, ant tasks are just a Java program with an excute() method. It is a lot easier than you write a shell script. It will be platform independent and a lot easier to maintain too.
