Hi,
if someone else runs into that ...
i just had another unpleasant experience with windows
pathdelimiter ' \ ' in ant (usually i always write / instead
of \ , but in that special case)
I've set a property via antcontrib / timestampselector
and wrote it to a file to use it in another antscript later.
...
<path id="path.order">
<fileset dir="${order.txt}">
<include name="*.txt" />
</fileset>
</path>
<timestampselector property="order.candidat"
pathref="path.order"
count="1"
age="eldest">
</timestampselector>
<echo
file="C:/cc_ant_workdir/temp.ordertxt">order.target=${order.candidat}</e
cho>
...
that writes
order.target=C:/path/to/my/txtfile
into temp.ordertxt
when using the property order.target via property file=temp.ordertxt
later the property get's expanded as =
C:pathtomytxtfile
Oops :-(
behaviour as in java when \ has to be masked as \\
*** What's the reason for that ? ***
So i choosed a workaround via
<echo file="C:/cc_ant_workdir/temp.ordertxt">${order.candidat}</echo>
and later
<loadfile property="order.target"
srcfile="C:/cc_ant_workdir/temp.ordertxt">
<filterchain>
<replacestring from="\" to="/" />
</filterchain>
</loadfile>
