property from a flat file
Is there already a known way to load the entire contents of a file into
a property? I know someone that wrote a custom task for this (using it
with replace) and at a quick look I didn't see this functionality
anywhere. Should I convince him to add a valuefromfile atribute to
property? or did I simply miss an existing feature?

Hi, you are missing an existing feature, the loadfile task performs what you
need
