I don't know why I never saw this issue, something must have been wrong with my mail system, so sorry you had to wait that long for an answer. For historical reasons Ant translates $$ to $ as a way to escape property references. stefan@birdy:/tmp$ cat dollar.xml <project name="test" basedir="."> <property name="value1" value="SNAPTIME$"/> <property name="value2" value="SNAPTIME$$"/> <property name="value3" value="SNAPTIME$$$"/> <property name="value4" value="SNAPTIME$$$$"/> <target name="print"> <echo message="$${value1}: ${value1}"/> <echo message="$${value2}: ${value2}"/> <echo message="$${value3}: ${value3}"/> <echo message="$${value4}: ${value4}"/> </target> </project> stefan@birdy:/tmp$ ant -f dollar.xml print Buildfile: /tmp/dollar.xml print: [echo] ${value1}: SNAPTIME$ [echo] ${value2}: SNAPTIME$ [echo] ${value3}: SNAPTIME$$ [echo] ${value4}: SNAPTIME$$ BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds This is Ant 1.8.2. Three or four $s should do. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
