Hi guys:
I am faced witha dilemma - on runtime I echo a variable value to a .properties file so the software module can read from it as follows:
echo %VAR_A% >> VAR.properties
echo %VAR_B% >> VAR.properties
-----------VAR.properties---------
VAR_A=X:\path\path\path
VAR_B=Y:\path\path\path\path
------
now the module requires me to modify this file to look like the following:
-----------VAR.new.properties---------
VAR_A=X:/path/path/path
VAR_B=Y:/path/path/path/path
------
essentially, open this file, modify and rewrite to new properties file. I am lost on trying to do this with a find commandn properly - please help!!
