How do I check where the symlink is pointing to in Ant

Question

Hi,

Basically what I've asked in the title. How can I use the Ant "symlink" command to find out where the symlink is pointing to?

Thanks

Steve

I think the "symlink" task can only create and remove symlinks. You could execute something like "ls -la ${file} | awk '{print $10}'" and capture the output with a redirector but this looks like an ugly hack - there should be a better way.
