Re: [NAnt-users] printing &Quote; text to a file

[Justin Daubenmire]

Thanks Craig that did it!
 
For anyone reading this, here was the syntax that worked:
 
 <property name="connection.string" value="connection
string=${'&amp;quot;'}database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;${'&amp;quot;'}"/>

The output was this:
 
&quot;database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;&quot;

Have you tied "&amp;quot;" yet? 


Go with the flow. I it wants to translate the entities, then use the
entity for the ampersand and let it get translated.

        Hi,
         
        I need to print the actual text "&quote" (minus the quote marks)
to a file and not have nant translate that to a " character.
         
        I have tried ${'&quot;'} but it still prints the " mark rather
than the text &quot;.
         
        How can I get this to work?
         
        I'm trying to put this escape sequence in a properties file and
using this to merge:
         
              <filterchain>
                <expandproperties />
              </filterchain>
        
        
         
        All merges fine accept the &quote; is translated to " during the
process.
         
        My property in the property file is like this:
         
        <property name="connection.string" value="connection
string=${'&quot;'}database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;${'&quot;'}"/>
         
        In the new file, I am expecting to see this:
        &quot;database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;&quot;
         
        but get this...
         
        
        "database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;"
         
         
        Thanks!
