	printing &Quote; text to a file by Justin Daubenmire-3 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message 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 ${'"'} but it still prints the " mark rather than the text ". How can I get this to work? I'm trying to put this escape sequence in a properties file and using this to merge: <filterchain> <expandproperties /> </filterchain> All merges fine accept the &quote; is translated to " during the process. My property in the property file is like this: <property name="connection.string" value="connection string=${'"'}database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;${'"'}"/> In the new file, I am expecting to see this: "database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;" but get this... "database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;" Thanks! /Justin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

For anyone reading this, here was the syntax that worked: <property name="connection.string" value="connection string=${'&quot;'}database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;${'&quot;'}"/> The output was this: "database=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;" /Justin From: Craig Beck [mailto:Craig.Beck@...] Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 10:40 AM To: Justin Daubenmire Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] printing &Quote; text to a file Have you tied "&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.

Learn more about Nabble's security policy. And, I don't even think you need the expression... <property name="connection.string" value="connection string=&quotdatabase=foo;uid=foo;pwd=foo;&quot;"/> Although I haven't tested it. YMMV.
