Modifying a property file

Hello, 

I am looking for an alternative way to modify a property file, without using 
the optional propertyfile task, and just use core functionality... 

Tried with replace, but cant replace the whole line. Eg. 

fo.name = value not known

..and if I use "fo.name" as a token, I cant set the right value for the 
property. The value is not known so I cant use this as a token. 



Thanks,

It's in ant-nodeps.jar.   If you're using a standard Ant installation, 
it's already available and built right in.

Thanks for your answer, Erik. I use <propertyfile> in ant 1.6.2 and here it 
seems like it is an optional task. Thats the reason why I dont want to use 
it. PropertyFile.class is not located in ant.jar, and I dont want any more 
dependencies. 

Best regards,

For the record, <propertyfile> is as built-in as any other core tasks.  
  I recommend you consider using it.
