Hi list, I have a big issue with the path separator, as i could not find any suitable sollution in the archives i use the list.
I have a properties file generated by a external tool containing path in platform specific way like 'install.dir=c:\myprogram\mydir' and I need to put that directory file in a xml configuration file in the url style using '/'. I thought I could use the 'replace' tag on my properties file to convert all '\' to '/', and it works fine. Afterwards replacing a token @MYINSTALLDIR@ in my xml configuration file by that modified property, but that does not work as properties are immutable. So the only way around I found is to launch once a script for replacing the slashes. Then running a new script for replacing my token in my configuration way. This is not really the way we want to have it, as we would like to have the simplest procedure for end users installing the program. I also tried with the 'propertyfile' tag but it has the same problem, it will still use the old property. So I thought writing my custom task but I am not sure if I will be able to find a way around the immutable properties, and I do not think it would be clean to do so. So if anyone has some ideas ...
