You can use ant-contrib[1] task PropertyRegex, an
example copied directly from[2] shows that it is
possible:
    <propertyregex property="pack.name"
              input="package.ABC.name"
              regexp="package\.([^\.]*)\.name"
              select="\1"
              casesensitive="false" />
    
This will yield ABC.

Or you can using a scripting language (like
javascript) in ant to manipulate your string (but I am
not so good in it to provide sample).

viewed as directories. Is this want you want>
