Thanks a lot David!
I succeeded by doing this:
<loadfile property="modbasedir" srcFile="xyz">
<filterchain>
<expandproperties/>
<replacestring from="\" to="/"/>
<replacestring from=":" to=""/>
<replacestring from=" " to="\ "/>
</filterchain>
</loadfile>
My original path is inside the property "basedir" while the file "xyz"
contains the string "${basedir}". Thus I get my original path by using
"<expandproperties/>".
(My modified path is inside the property "modbasedir".)
Is there a way not to be in need of the file "xyz"? AFAIK all commands
that support a filterchain are working on files rather than just
properties.
Cheers,
Nicolai

A little tired right now to test it, but you could use a filter in a

Hi folks!
I have a property which contains a path "C:\Documents and Settings
\..." and I have to convert it to this format "c/Documents\ and\
Settings/...". Thus I have to replace "\" with "/" and so on.
How do I do this? I can access my property with ${myProperty} and
want to get another property with the replaced chars.
Cheers,
Nicolai
