Hi,

thanks for your suggestions :

but :

<property name="foobar" value="&lt;bla&gt;foobar&lt;/bla&gt;" />

  <echo>${foobar}</echo>

    <propertyregex property="foo"
           input="${foobar}"
           regexp="&amp;lt;"
           replace="&lt;"
           casesensitive="false" />
  <echo>${foo}</echo>

just gives me :

     [echo] <bla>foobar</bla>
     [echo] ${foo}

hm, let's see the other way around :

<echo file="J:/test/test.txt">fixed=${foobar}</echo>

yup, the property is written as :

fixed=<bla>foobar</bla>

but doesn't work either, when loading the propertyfile afterwards,
property ${fixed} get's not expanded --> ${fixed}

Even after manuelly changing the propertyfile to :
fixed=&lt;bla&gt;foobar&lt;/bla&gt;
it does not get expanded.

Any other ideas ?!?

by4now, Gilbert
