Also, for a linefeed, it's usually \n\r (or is that \r\n). I had a similar problem when unit testing... i took out the \n, but the \r (line feed) was still there, and a newline was inserted anyway. You might want to try taking out both.

It would keep the easy-to-read multiline layout while eliminating the problem with the linefeed. It would give up some flexibility, but it doesn't look like you need it. >I'd like to keep the initial property assignment WITH the lines, so it's >easier to read, and strip them out before using the command. > >This didn't work as I had hoped :-( > > <property name="params.htmlhelp" >value="${string::replace(params.htmlhelp, '\n', '')}" /> > <echo message="${params.htmlhelp}" /> > > If embedding a return in the string above results in a crlf in the string, then perhaps you should try string::replace(... , ' ', '') i.e., use a real crlf instead of \n.
