Yes, that is correct. It is mentioned in the task documentation [1].

Hi,
Dale, in your example below =

<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 ?

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.
See http://antelope.tigris.org.

Hi,
the only alternative i know of would be using
the PropertyRegex task from antcontrib.
My suggestion is the most easiest.
Would be nice if you could just write it like =
<property name="bla" value="${Prop1}${Prop2}">
<filterchain>
<replacestring from="//" to="/" />
</filterchain>
</property>
in core ant, but the property task doesn't support
the nested filterchain element.
With PropertyRegex you have a syntax like =
<propertyregex property="correctedPath"
input="${Prop1}${Prop2}"
regexp="your regex goes here"
select="... "
casesensitive="false" />
or
<propertyregex property="correctedPath"
input="${Prop1}${Prop2}"
regexp="your regex goes here"
replace="..."
casesensitive="false" />
You don't need to write a file here, but you have
find a working regular expression.

Hi Gil
Is there no easy way to do it? :/ It's a bit overhead to write files
for
this, isn't it ;)
If there is no other possibility I'll do it this way...
Thanks anyway,
Remo

Hi,
echo ${Prop1}${Prop2} to yourfile.txt
then use a filterchain when loading
the contents of that file in a new property =
<loadfile property="bla" srcfile="C:/yourfile.txt">
<filterchain>
<replacestring from="//" to="/" />
</filterchain>
</loadfile>
<echo>${bla}</echo>
gives you >>> /my/folder/my other folder/

Good Morning
Is it possible to to some string operations on a property?
Example:
Prop1: "/my/folder/"
Prop2: "/my other folder/"
Now I log:
File moved to: ${Prop1}${Prop2}
This logs:
"/my/folder//my other folder/"
The double slash is not nice... But I need all the slashes in
Prop1 and Prop2... So I need to do a substring action on one
of the properties.
I took a look at the documentation of ANT but did not found
some string operations or stuff like this. I think there is
such things, may be I looked at the wrong place. If so,
please tell me where I have to look next time ;)
Thank you
Remo
