RE: replaceregex, only the first match

[Rebhan, Gilbert]

Hi,

Oops, of course, missed that , thanks !!

I've used that before, but didn't remember ;-)

btw, there are some gotchas i regularly run in,

i.e. when using

<equals arg1="${foo}" arg2="bla"/>

you have to use the syntax ${}

but when using 

<isset property="foo"/>

you have to write it without ${}


Regards, Gilbert

Remove the <tokenfilter> tags, and then your script will only replace
the
first occurrence.

<copy file="C:/test/props.xml" tofile="C:test/propss.xml">
       <filterchain>
       <replaceregex byline="false" pattern="&lt;vers.modul\..+"
replace=""/>
       <replaceregex byline="false" pattern="&lt;vers.module.+"
replace=""/>
       </filterchain>
</copy>
