Ant: How to use a property value as replacement in replaceregexp

Question

I need to replace a regex match with a value from a properties file.

It would look like:

<replaceregexp 
        file="test.txt"
        match="blabla" 
        replace="some.property"
        >
</replaceregexp>

(That doesn't work, it's just to show what I need)

some.property is in a file called test.properties

Answer 1

I think that the problem is that you are using some.property instead of ${some.property}. That's how I have it working.

Answer 2

Use the loadproperties task to load properties from a file.
