ANT build properties and escaping characters

[Kris Range <kr...@dareville.com>]

Hi,

I posted this on another forum and they recommended I ask here. I have 
some characters that I need to escape in my build.properties file (like 
äåö). The only option I could find that was close to this was to use 
escapeunicode so I tried using <loadproperties srcFile=""> with the 
<filterchain><escapeunicode/></filterchain> node but that didn't seem to 
help. Any recommendations on how to accomplish this?

Cheers
Kris

Hello Kris,

I think you need to generate your property files using <escapeunicode/> 
and have inside your property files things like

hellochinese=\u0123\u0f32   (invented)
