            Bug ID: 64643
           Summary: PropertyFile Task operation can not handle int bigger
                    than 999
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.10.5
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Optional Tasks
          Assignee: notifications@ant.apache.org
          Reporter: vasilev@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Having a simple script that increments build number on each execution : 

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<project default="createBuildNumber" basedir=".">       
        <target name = "createBuildNumber">
                <propertyfile file="build.number">
                        <entry key="build_number" type="int" operation="+"
value="1"/>
                </propertyfile>
        </target>
</project>

When number reaches 999 in the property file, the next one is not a number but
a String like this one : build_number=1\u00a0000

Best Regards,
Veselin

Propertyfile formats the number according to your default DecimalFormat unless
you specify the pattern attribute. \u00a0 is a non breaking space, which I've
never seen in a DecimalFormat but maybe expected in your locale.

It should work if you specify pattern="####" or even more hashes.

If you omit the pattern Ant uses "new DecimalFormat()" which uses the decimal
format for your locale (the FORMAT one
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Locale.Category.html#FORMAT
to be precise). It is very common for the locale specific format to contain a
thousands-separator which in a German locale 1000 would be formatted as 1.000
for example.

Thanks Stefan,
hashes pattern help and it works by using it.
My locales are 
System Locale:             bg;Bulgarian
Input Locale:              en-us;English (United States)

But I still do not get it why it starts to behave like that when the number
exceeds 3 digits. It works fine with int's < 999

Veselin
