This ant script snippet:
      &lt;property name=3D"lineOfTestLine" value=3D"$ $$ $$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$=
$$$" /&gt;
      &lt;echo message=3D"${lineOfTestLine}" /&gt;

Prints out:
     [echo] $ $ $$ $$ $$$ $$$

I think its related to this PropertyExpander definition
org.apache.tools.ant.PropertyHelper.SKIP_DOUBLE_DOLLAR

Is there any way round this?

OBJECTIVE:
I'm trying to use an ant-contrib for loop to parse each line of a file.
Some of these lines contain double dollars in the text, but param attribute=
 is being munged by this PropertyExpander.


Regards,
Chris Holman
