Antoine,
echoing would add a second line with the property no?, and I want the
exisiting line to be modified...propertyFile would do, I had missed
that one, it's a pity comments are lost though...

Gilbert ,
yes I think that would work, but I have never used any of these
scripting languages.

does anybody know where the souce code for propertyFile is? maybe its
easy to make it keep the comments...

thanks both,
javi

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,
