http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5146 The Replace Task - possible extension to the property file feature Summary: The Replace Task - possible extension to the property file feature Product: Ant Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am using the Replace Task for replacing different stuff in configuration files. It works fine. My problem, so to speek is the ammount of code I have to create to do all the replaces, and if I decide on using a new key to be replaced, I must add it in all the places I want to use it (Am I right here?). A suggestion could be to do the following: have two new attributes: preoken (Example: '#@') aPreToken (Example: '@#') and use the properties file somewhat differently, say: for all the keys in the file, set up a replaceFilter internally. Say my properties file contains: # db.user = charles db.pwd = dickens verbose = false debug = false # etc. Then create Filters accordingly: (If I would write them today:) <replacefilter token="[EMAIL PROTECTED]@#" property="db.user"/> <replacefilter token="[EMAIL PROTECTED]@#" property="db.pwd"/> <replacefilter token="[EMAIL PROTECTED]@#" property="verbose"/> <replacefilter token="[EMAIL PROTECTED]@#" property="debug"/> Now I can extend the replaced kjeys just by adding new entries in the properties file. Is this something you also beleive is useful? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
