Merge Property Files

Bash file that can merge two property files together

Property Files

Property files are files that contain property names and their values. Such as:

com.property.one=value_one
com.property.two=value_two
...

Master and Slave property files

It is possible that properties with the same name exist in both files. When this occurs the Master value will be preserved.

Example Input:

// Master
com.property.one=master_value_one
com.property.two=master_value_two
// Slave
com.property.one=slave_value_two
com.property.three=slave_value_three

Output:

com.property.one=master_value_one
com.property.two=master_value_two // <-- Master value used, not slave
com.property.three=slave_value_three

Usage

Simply update the following lines as required:

MASTER_FILE="./master.properties"
SLAVE_FILE="./slave.properties"
OUTPUT_FILE="./output.properties"
