According to its doc, this task makes no effort to preserve comments. If you are familiar with the javadoc on the Properties class it doesn't take much of a leap to conclude that these are the facilities being used "under the hood", as it were. So the propertyfile task will inherit the limitations of the Properties class. You could implement this yourself in Ant... I would think you might find yourself using ant-contrib's math task as well as one of the several text replacement approaches available in Ant (my favorite is filterchains). Or you could always implement in Java or a compatible scripting language. -Matt > > -- > Frank W.
