I seem to have found an awful, awful workaround:
<PropertyGroup>
<Foo>$([MSBuild]::Unescape($(MyProperty.Replace(".","\.").Replace("*",".*").Replace("?",".").Replace("*", "%2A").Replace("%2A","%25252A"))))</Foo>
</PropertyGroup>
The thing is, if I do %252A, thinking that it'll unescape to %2A, it seems to double-expand so I have to %25252A to expand %2525 into %25 which will then expand into %.
There's gotta be another way, as this kind of double unescape behavior seems like the kind of thing that can and will break without warning in a future iteration.
from msbuild.
We can see how this can be confusing, we will expand the documentation on how our escaping works so it is less confusing.
As for the break / change in future iterations, we consider any change to the escape behaviour a breaking change. As such, if we decided in the future to make changes to the escaping (we have no plans for such thing now) it will be implemented with Changewaves.
from msbuild.
