Try <propertyregex> from AntContrib. It will allow you to create a new property value using a regular expression.

How do I create a new property that would have this value. I know how to use filters to filter tokens when copying files, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that for the value of a property. e.g. I want to do something like this: <filterset id="replace.version"> <filter token="." value="_" /> </filterset> <property name="friendly.version" value="${version} filterid="replace.version" /> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
