Concat in MsBuild
After building my own concat task for MsBuild, Jordan E. Terrell informed me that it is build in. In my defense, I couldn't find it on google :-)
At any rate, Jordan was kind enough to send me a test script that showed how it worked and directed me at the documnetation. Here is the script:
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
        <Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" DefaultTargets="Concat">
               <ItemGroup>
                      <String Include="Item 1" />
                      <String Include="Item 2" />
                      <String Include="Item 3" />
                      <String Include="Item 4" />
                      <String Include="Item 5" />
               </ItemGroup>
               <Target Name="Concat">
                      <Message Text="Use semi-colon (default): @(String)" />
                      <Message Text="Use colon: @(String, ':')" />
                      <Message Text="Use dash: @(String, '-')" />
                      <Message Text="Use space: @(String, ' ')" />
               </Target>
        </Project>
Thanks, Jordan. I got to delete code because of you, and that is always good :-)
