i tried out "<replace file="abc.bat" token="VARIABLE" value="version"/>"
it worked perfectly replacing VARIABLE with version. But my next task is to
read the value from some property file instead of typing in the value as
shown above.
i will also try out Gilbert's suggestion to load the property value and
retrieve using key-value pair.
I usually have a special copy task that expands every ${something}
property in a file:
<presetdef name="expandingcopy">
<copy overwrite="true">
<filterchain>
<expandproperties/>
</filterchain>
</copy>
</presetdef>
use this whenever I want to fill in a file with ant properties:
<expandingcopy todir="${rpm.SPECS}" >
<fileset dir="${rpm.metadata.dir}" includes="**/*.spec"/>
</expandingcopy>
By setting overwrite=true you guarantee the copy always takes place,
which forces all downstream work to be rebuilt too. Apart from that, it
works very well
