           Summary: Enhance token definition for replacefilterfile in
                    replace task
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


My property file(s) has properties like env.dir.base etc. 
I have various config files which are "master" files, and used to create the 
final config file (based on the contents of the property files). 

In the master file however I don't want to write 
>>>> 
<config basedir="env.dir.base">
<<<< 

Instead I want to be able to make it clearly visible by enclosing the strings 
to be replaced into delimiters. E.g. 
>>>> 
<config basedir="%env.dir.base%">
<<<< 

I could achieve this by writing the property files like: 
%env.dir.base% = /dir/val/used 

.... but .... this is ugly. I don't want property names to contain the 
delimiter characters (%). 

Solution: 
Provide an optional argument "delimiterstring" to be used with 
replacefilterfile. E.g. 

<replace file="e:\\test.txt" 
         replacefilterfile="testSecond.properties"
         delimiterstring="%"/>

And now don't treat each property as token, but instead use %property% as 
token.
