Modify custom properties file

[uzqat...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have a custom properties file where i have some variables, now i need change it but i don't know how to modify this file. I tried some shell script and jenkins plugins but it doesn't work to me. Any idea how to do it? 

I am working with a Windows Server 2008 R2 and the file is at C:\jenkins\currentBrowser.properties and the content is just browser = explorer

Thanks

If this file is in standard key-value format then it's a standard Java properties file.

You can write a small groovy script that you can execute from the Jenkins script console to read, modify it and re-save it.

I have a groovy scriptlet that reads a particular property key from a properties file on the Jenkins server. Maybe you can modify it to do what you want.

Find it here: https://github.com/imoutsatsos/jenkins-scriptlets/blob/master/UC_helper_getStaticPropertyKey.groovy

Hope this helps
