RE: How do I escape the " in the replace command?

[Simon Jeffrey]

This version below works :) !!! Very good to know, and really the
easiest, most straight-forward way to handle double qoutes in your
source and target strings.

<replace file="testfile.txt" 
          token='JAVA_OPTIONS="${JAVA_OPTIONS}"'
          value='JAVA_OPTIONS="${JAVA_OPTIONS}
-Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=${WEBLOGIC_PRODUCTION_MODE}"'/>

"The HTML entity for " is &quot;, not &quote;
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/entities.html#h-24.4.1). Did the OP
have a typo in his e-mail, or did he try the wrong entity?"

It was not a type-o in the email...I had it wrong.

Thanks everyone VERY MUCH!!!  Now hopefully it will work on unix as well
(I've only tested on windows so far.)


Thanks, Jeff

The HTML entity for " is &quot;, not &quote;
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/entities.html#h-24.4.1). Did the OP
have a typo in his e-mail, or did he try the wrong entity?
