Tokenize or modify a property value

[Yodzilla]

Is is possible using Ant to somehow modify the value of a given property? More specifically, if there is a property "Name" with value 'ABCDE', is there any way to create a new property based on the first three characters of "Name"? (Ex: "Name" = 'Bobby' creates "Name_2" = 'Bob')

I know string manipulation is simple in Java, but I'm trying to avoid writing a new Ant extension. Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't think so. Why do you need to do that?
