Re: printing &Quote; text to a file

And, I don't even think you need the expression...

<property name="connection.string" value="connection string=&amp;quotdatabase=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;&amp;quot;"/>

Although I haven't tested it. YMMV.

Thanks Craig that did it!

For anyone reading this, here was the syntax that worked:

 <property name="connection.string" value="connection string=${'&amp;quot;'}database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;${'&amp;quot;'}"/>

The output was this:

&quot;database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;&quot;

Have you tied "&amp;quot;" yet?

Go with the flow. I it wants to translate the entities, then use the entity for the ampersand and let it get translated.

Hi,

I need to print the actual text "&quote" (minus the quote marks) to a file and not have nant translate that to a " character.

I have tried ${'&quot;'} but it still prints the " mark rather than the text &quot;.

How can I get this to work?

I'm trying to put this escape sequence in a properties file and using this to merge:

      <filterchain>
        <expandproperties />
      </filterchain>

All merges fine accept the &quote; is translated to " during the process.

My property in the property file is like this:

<property name="connection.string" value="connection string=${'&quot;'}database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;${'&quot;'}"/>

In the new file, I am expecting to see this:
&quot;database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;&quot;

but get this...

"database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;"


Thanks!
