that's the reason i _always_ use the unix style ' / '
although i'm running on windows.
Yes, that what I recommend as well.
if you use a path on a windows machine, f.e. :
the path in the file you echoed to looks like :
C:\the\path\to\something
the windows path separator is used as you are running on windows
so if you try to load that file as property later, you have to go like
that =
<loadfile property="ordertxtfile" srcfile="C:/cc_workdir/temp.order">
<filterchain> <replacestring from="\" to="/" /> </filterchain>
</loadfile>
I'd recommend to use <pathconvert> before the <echo>, rather than a
filter chain with <loadfile>. In fact, since you are not echo'ing out
a properties file it seems, you could even do the direct <echo> and
use <pathconvert> after the <loadfile> as well, because <loadfile> is
not affected with baskslash-based escape sequences. --DD
