RE: set a property in a .properties file

[Rebhan, Gilbert]

Hi,

forgot the replacement in my last mail =

given propertyfile test.props :

foo=bar

        <script language="ruby">
             <![CDATA[
            
            #replace in your property file
        # optionally create a new file just use
        # a different outfile
            
            infile = 'Y:/test.props'
            outfile = 'Y:/test.props'
            old = File.read(infile)
            old.gsub!(/#{$foo}/, 'nobar')
                File.open(outfile, "w") {|new| new.write(old)}
                    if infile == outfile
                    puts 'Modified = '<<infile<<' inplace'
                    else
                    puts 'Modified = '<<infile<<' to = '<<outfile
                end 
            
            # reset for further ant processing
            $project.setProperty "foo","nobar"
            
             ]]>
         </script> 

test.props afterwards :
foo=foobar

Subject: set a property in a .properties file

hi,

I have been looking for a way to set a property in a .properties file
via ant. Could not find any easy way...somebody knows a way to do it
or a external task or something?

I know about the <replace> stuff, but I am trying to change the
property without knowing the value it had before, that is, I cannot
assume it is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@'

thanks,
