Question

I’m using this script to replace a value in a property file located into a jar file.

<replace file="/cygdrive/d/ant/test/target/com/test/resources.properties" token="MyKey" value="MyNewValue">

the property file is :

MyKey=My Old Value

This script will replace MyKey by MyNewValue
Or what I need is to replace the My Old Value by the MyNewValue?

Answer 1

You might use the Ant propertyfile task, something like:

<propertyfile file="/cygdrive/d/ant/test/target/com/test/resources.properties">
    <entry key="MyKey" value="MyNewValue"/>
</propertyfile>
