Hi !
I tried that and it fixes the first substitution (i.e. the path now only contains '/',
however
internally represented with \\ when dumped to a file), thanks. the second one still
does not work.
if I try to hardcode
<replace file="${tmp.properties}" token="C\:\\Data\\1671sc\\src\\dao\\main\\" value=""
summary="yes"/>
this is working fine. I'd have however hope that the replace task would have been
transparent of the OS
(then how to know the string is a path ? o.k).
I'll make it work by replacing the generated string in the property file as a UNIX
path, the performing
the replacment.
still wondering if there could be a direct way to assign a property to its 'display'
representation
instead of its internal java representation (with escaped '\' for instance) - more
direct than
pathconvert for instance ?
