I was supplied a script by Francis Galiegue see below which passes a parameter value from one property file to another one, which works for me see below, but I have comments in file B see below for example that I want to keep, but these are removed when I run this script. From reading the ANT manual if I use the entry kek term I lose my comments in the file B, is there another way of doing this? ############################################################################### # Edit this file before doing a release. # When finished changes, simply save and close to resume build process
<property file="A"/> <target name="something"> <propertyfile file="B"> <entry key="build" value="${build}" operation="="/> </propertyfile> </target> Note that operation="=" is the default.
