I would recommend you to replace the line breaks in
your file with commas. I tried to do it with regular
expression, but I am not good at them. Here is my
unsuccessfull attempt:
<loadfile property="to.delete"
srcFile="ant.delete.txt">
<filterchain>
<tokenfilter>
Here we should do smth like that with regexps
but the line below does not work :((>
<replaceregex pattern="${ls}" replace=","/>
</tokenfilter>
</filterchain>
</loadfile>
I hope someone from regexp gurus will help you.
Regards Ivan
