RE: replace < with < in property ??

[Allwicher, Klaus]

Your solution with regex is nearly correct, but you have to escape < and >
;-)

The below snippet was successful tested :-)
        <target name="test" >
                <property name="input"
value="&amp;lt;bla&amp;gt;foobar&amp;lt;/bla&amp;gt;" />
                
                <echo message="Input: '${input}'" level="info" />
                <propertyregex property="output"
                                          input="${input}"
                                          regexp="&amp;lt;"
                                          replace="&lt;"
                                          casesensitive="false" />
                <echo message="Output: '${output}'" level="info" />
                <propertyregex property="output"
                                          input="${output}"
                                          regexp="&amp;gt;"
                                          replace="&gt;"
                                          casesensitive="false"
override="true" />
                <echo message="Output: '${output}'" level="info" />
        </target>

test:
     [echo] Input: '&lt;bla&gt;foobar&lt;/bla&gt;'
     [echo] Output: '<bla&gt;foobar</bla&gt;'
     [echo] Output: '<bla>foobar</bla>'

Maybe you can combine it in one statement ...
