hi all, One of my property file has key/values such as
path=something\usb When I read this property like <property file="${build_dir}/myvalues.properties" /> ant throws an exception, C:\mydir\build.xml:35: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed \uxxxx encoding. I understand that it interprets \u in usb as unicode char. how to over come this? I tried to use a filter to change "\" to "\\" <filter token="\" value="\\"/> <copy file="${build_dir}/myvalues.properties" filtering="true" tofile="${build_dir}/myvalues1.properties" overwrite="true"> </copy> It does not seem to work. What could be the problem ?
