What is the difference between &{var} and ${var} ?
What is the syntax for word3= something ? Is something always a single "word"? Is everything after the "=" to the end of the line supposed to be part of the expansion of ${var} or &{var} ? Is the space in " something" important? (In your example, it appears that the space should be discarded, but since you didn't put code tags around in your posting, we can't tell if there are supposed to be multiple adjacent spaces in your desired output.)
Hi All,
first of all sorry for missing the code tags.
Answering to the questions, there is no diference between & and $. It was a typo and also there is no space after=. basically I was trying to do this using fmpp ant task, but not able to do it.
