Hello Laurie,

please look at this manual page :
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/regexp.html
maybe this paragraph can help you :
The property ant.regexp.regexpimpl governs which regular expression
implementation will be chosen. Possible values for this property are :

  a.. org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.Jdk14RegexpRegexp
  b.. org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.JakartaOroRegexp
  c.. org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.JakartaRegexpRegexp
Also, if you want to use the Oro implementation of regexp, you then need
ant-apache-oro.jar and jakarta-oro.jar in the classpath.
Similarily, you will need jakarta-regexp.jar and ant-apache-regexp.jar in
the last case.

Most optional tasks in ant require at least 2 jars, one containing the
bridge code between ant and the external dependency, the other one being the
external dependency itself.

I am surprised that the org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.Jdk14RegexpRegexp
does not work.

Regards,

Antoine
