A list of files or patterns separated by a ;.  Any pattern or file that is a relative path is automatically made relative to <%InstallDir%>.

The type of linefeeds for the specified files.  The following choices are available:

• Auto - choose the linefeeds based on the target install platform.
• Unix - Use UNIX linefeeds (lf)
• Windows - Use Windows linefeeds (crlf)

String Map

A string map is a list of strings in pairs separated by whitespaces.  Each string in a string map has a corresponding string to map it to.  Strings with spaces should be placed in quotes to show that they are to be treated as a single string.  See the example below for a sample string map.

Examples

The following values would convert all instances of @@INSTALL_DIR@@ to our installation directory and all instances of the string "replace this string" with "our new string" in a file called config.cfg.  It will also convert linefeeds to UNIX (lf) linefeeds.

Files:      config.cfg

Line Feed:  Unix

String Map: "@@INSTALL_DIR@@" <%InstallDir%>

            "replace this string" "our new string"
