Replace value of a parameter
I want to pass a parameter value from one property file to another one, they
both have the same name so for example I have file A with the parameter
build=0999
and other file B with a number of paramters but the one I want to replace is
build
build=0998
So how do do I take the value of build in file A and replace the value of
build in file B.
The values are changing constantly so the values are wildcard
Thanks

That wokred so ignore my question on defining the file outside the target.
What I do notice is that the original file B had a number of lines in it
which were comments for example see below, is ther any way of keeping these
comments in the file?

I have not tried this yet but how come property file A is defined out side
the target something should not be inside it?

<property file="A"/>
<target name="something">
<propertyfile file="B">
<entry key="build" value="${build}" operation="="/>
</propertyfile>
</target>
