Hi,
the only alternative i know of would be using
the PropertyRegex task from antcontrib.
My suggestion is the most easiest.
Would be nice if you could just write it like =
<property name="bla" value="${Prop1}${Prop2}">
<filterchain>
<replacestring from="//" to="/" />
</filterchain>
</property>
in core ant, but the property task doesn't support
the nested filterchain element.
With PropertyRegex you have a syntax like =
<propertyregex property="correctedPath"
input="${Prop1}${Prop2}"
regexp="your regex goes here"
select="... "
casesensitive="false" />
or
<propertyregex property="correctedPath"
input="${Prop1}${Prop2}"
regexp="your regex goes here"
replace="..."
casesensitive="false" />
You don't need to write a file here, but you have
find a working regular expression.

Hi Gil
Is there no easy way to do it? :/ It's a bit overhead to write files for
this, isn't it ;)
If there is no other possibility I'll do it this way...
Thanks anyway,
Remo
