Hello Henrik, Here is one way to do this using ant-contrib[1] and its task <propertyregex>[2]:
<project> <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/> <property name="ext.version" value="4.0.0"/> <propertyregex property="ext.version.undotted" input="${ext.version}" regexp="\." replace=""/> <echo>$${ext.version.undotted} is ${ext.version.undotted}</echo> </project> The output of this build file is: [echo] ${ext.version.undotted} is 400. There are also other ways to do it, like using <scriptdef> and a scripting language like javascript to do the string manipulation, but I think the one above is the easiest.
