You need to provide more details (i.e. how are the property files named), but after consulting my crystal ball try this (you need to define the filespec for identifying the files):
Code:
ls property_file_spec | while read filename
do
  sed 's/=/;/' "$filename" > "$filename.out"
done

If your list of files is in a file:
Code:
while read filename
do
  sed 's/=/;/' "$filename" > "$filename.out"
done < filename_containing_a_list_of_files

setcap

SETCAP(8)                                                     System Manager's Manual                                                    SETCAP(8)

NAME

       setcap - set file capabilities

SYNOPSIS

       setcap [-q] [-v] (capabilities|-|-r) filename [ ... capabilitiesN fileN ]

DESCRIPTION

       In  the  absence  of  the -v (verify) option setcap sets the capabilities of each specified filename to the capabilities specified.  The -v
       option is used to verify that the specified capabilities are currently associated with the file.

       The capabilities are specified in the form described in cap_from_text(3).

       The special capability string, '-', can be used to indicate that capabilities are read from the standard input. In such cases, the capabil-
       ity set is terminated with a blank line.

       The special capability string, '-r', is used to remove a capability set from a file.

       The -q flag is used to make the program less verbose in its output.

EXIT CODE

       The setcap program will exit with a 0 exit code if successful. On failure, the exit code is 1.
