I want to add a line to a file, but only if the file doesn't already
contain that line. I can add the line fine, but I can't figure out how
to do it conditionally. Is this possible? Here's what I have so far.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
<target name="test">
<!-- this replace works, but it adds the line every time -->
<replace dir="bin" file="bin/start.bat">
<replacetoken><![CDATA[start]]></replacetoken>
<replacevalue><![CDATA[set bar=foo
start]]></replacevalue>
</replace>
<!-- this doesn't replace anything no matter if start.bat contains
set bar=foo or not -->
<replace dir="bin" includes="bin/start.bat">
<not><contains text="set bar=foo" casesensitive="yes"/></not>
<replacetoken><![CDATA[start]]></replacetoken>
<replacevalue><![CDATA[set bar=foo
start]]></replacevalue>
</replace>
</target>
,
Josh.
