Hello Benjamin, I did not look into the source code of the propertyregex task (from ant-contrib), but if it behaves like other regular expression based ant tasks, maybe it uses the same mechanism like ant to find out a regular expression implementation.
The property |ant.regexp.regexpimpl| governs which regular expression implementation will be chosen. Possible values for this property are : * org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.Jdk14RegexpRegexp * org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.JakartaOroRegexp * org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.JakartaRegexpRegexp http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/propertyregex.html Cheers, Antoine Benjamin Podszun wrote: > Hi there. > > I'm using the propertyregex task - or at least I'd love to.
