http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13313 PropertyFile task output ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-10-04 21:53 ------- The Properties class documentation defines the exact format a properties file should have (see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#load (java.io.InputStream) ) . According to this format, colon (:) is one of the separators between the property name and it's value. It must thus be 'escaped' if used in the property key, but not in the value. I believe Michael may have a point here!?!? Especially since the doc mentions that the only escape sequence recognized in the value are \t, \n, \r, \\, \", \', \ (a backslash and a space), and \uxxxx (which doesn't include \:). So I was going to concur with Erik, but I think Michael is right. Colon should only be escaped in the key, not in the value (except if it comes as the first character of the value... it's not clear there). --DD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
