Hi,

The problem here ist that the ${} property is evaluated by ant before
webtest has a chance to see it.
#{} is evaluated by webtest.
Making the usage below possible through an ant task would be fairly tricky.

cheers

  Subject: [Webtest] Repeat property expansion question

  When creating a loop it would be very useful to be able to have the loop
count loaded from a property file, and then have each of the values used
within the loop also loaded from properties. Thus a property file might
contain:

  test.loopCount=4
  test.loopValue.0=A
  test.loopValue.1=B
  test.loopValue.2=C
  test.loopValue.3=D

  To achieve this we seem to need an ant expression of the style
"${test.loopValue#{count}}" to evaluate correctly.
  Is there a way of doing this?
