Ah too bad. Thanks for the info though. I'll be filing an enhancement
request i guess.
A second reason for preprocessing .strings files would be to allow for
conditional "compilation". I often find that I need to build different
versions of my projects and it would be nice to be able to leave out
the parts not relevant for the current version.

Hi everyone,
I have jsut converted a project to Xcode 1.5 and was very happy to
see that build variables can now be used in the Info.plist files.
Of course the logical next step would be to also allow them in the
InfoPlist.strings files (as well as generally in all .strings files).
Is this possible? I couldn't get this to work using the following
syntax:
I have defined a custom build variable named
"CURRENT_MARKETING_VERSION" with the value "1.0b1" (without the
quotes in both cases) in my target settings.
Then in the file: English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings:
-------------------------------------
/* Localized strings for the English bundle info */
CFBundleShortVersionString = "$(CURRENT_MARKETING_VERSION)";
/* EOF */
-------------------------------------
Currently the literal string "$(CURRENT_MARKETING_VERSION)" is used
instead of the value of the build variable ("1.0b1").
Am I doing something wrong? Is this supported? If not I'll file an
enhancement request.
Note: This example is trivial of course but there are situations
where I might want to combine localized information with settings
defined once in the build settings.
Thanks!
Mike
