Retrieve value from text file and replace a string constant in another file with that value using ant script

Question

I have a file called versionInfo.txt. This file among other things has the following text: \"Implementation-Version: 7.5.0.1\".

I need to retrieve the version value

Answer 1

For the second part of your question, retrieve the version info.. : If you need to read the Implementation-Version from the Manifest of a jar you may use a macrodef, f.e. :

  
  
  
    
      
        
      
        
    


 

$${foobar} => ${foobar}
