No, you're trying to do token replacement in files based on properties, right? That's exactly what I'm doing.
You write an immediate CA to do your token replacement, and put the resulting string in a temporary record... Then you schedule your deferred CA for execution. You write the deferred CA to go through that table with the temporary records, and write them out to target filenames. Voila, a 2-stage token replacement scheme that doesn't affect the system until deferred actions run.
