You do not have to escape back slashes in XML - just put "\r\n".

Hello all,
  Today seems to be regular expression day on the list, so here is my input ;)

  I have a block of code in my build script:

    <script language="javascript">
    <![CDATA[
      strResourceDef = project.getProperty("MSVC.Pre-Link.RESOURCE_DEF");
      strReplace = strResourceDef.replaceAll(";","\\r\\n");
      project.setProperty("RESOURCE_DEF_REPLACE", strReplace);
    ]]>
    </script>

  What this is supposed to do is is transform a string like
string;string;string; into string\r\nstring\r\nstring\r\n, but the
above transforms to stringrnstringrnstringrn, and using \r\n or
\\\r\\\n causes actual newlines to be output, which is not what I
want. I've tried using entities as well and they just get output
verbatim.  Any clues?

thanks
Chad
