Hi,
Dale, in your example below =
<property name="Prop1" value="/my/folder/"/>
<property name="Prop2" value="/my other folder/"/>
Property Prop2 is already set, so if you're
able to write =
<stringutil string="${Prop2}" property="Prop2">
does it mean, that the StringUtil task has a builtin
propertycopy feature, as properties are immutable
normally ?
Regards, Gilbert

You can also use the StringUtil task from Antelope. Then you could do
something like:
<property name="Prop1" value="/my/folder/"/>
<property name="Prop2" value="/my other folder/"/>
<stringutil string="${Prop2}" property="Prop2">
<substring beginindex="1"/>
</stringutil>
<echo>${Prop1}${Prop2}</echo>
will print out
/my/folder/my other folder/
Or
<property name="Prop1" value="/my/folder/"/>
<property name="Prop2" value="/my other folder/"/>
<property name="Prop3" value="${Prop1}${Prop2}"/>
<stringutil string="${Prop3}" property="Prop3">
<replace regex="//" replacement="/"/>
</stringutil>
<echo>${Prop3}</echo>
will print out the same.
