Variables to .env files

An Azure pipeline task step to convert variables into separate .env files for multiple different containers by using predefined prefixes.

Usage

Specify a list of environment using multiple lines:

env1
env2

Variables prefixed with either env1. or env2. will go into the env1.env and env2.env files respectively.
Variables that does not contain one of the defined prefixes will be ignored.

Example

For example the following variables ({name} : {value}):

env1.ConnectionString : Host=xx;Port=xx;...;
env2.SomeValue : true
Unrelated : somevalue

Would generate the following files:
env1.env

ConnectionString=Host=xx;Port=xx;...;

env2.env

SomeValue=true
