Dear Oliver,
Thanks for your interest on my problem. Concerning to your comment, I don't
understand wery will, please could you be a little bit more explicit.
As far as I understand, I think you mean to include the new line character on
the match expression. I was tested this too, without success, so:
<replaceregexp byline = "false" flags = "g"
file="${sql.dir}/oracle/lra-create-index-oracle.sql"
match="[EMAIL PROTECTED](\)\n]*;"
replace=";">
doesn't work, so adding the \n character. I have tested to using the java
property
${line.separator}, so:
<replaceregexp byline = "false" flags = "g"
file="${sql.dir}/oracle/lra-create-index-oracle.sql"
match="[EMAIL PROTECTED](\)${line.separator}]*;"
replace=";">
both solutions compiles with Ant, but the input file doesn't change.
I have a simple example that work on multi-line context, but I don't have to
specify the list of allowed characters on the match expression:
<replaceregexp byline = "false" flags = "gs">
<regexp pattern = "${CVI.begin}(.*)${CVI.end}"/>
<substitution expression =
"${CVI.begin}${nl}${CVI.body.java}${CVI.end}"/>
<fileset dir = ".">
<exclude name="**/*.properties"/>
<patternset refid = "java.patternset"/>
</fileset>
</replaceregexp>
where:
CVI.begin = @BEGIN_CONTROL_VERSION_INFO@
CVI.end = @END_CONTROL_VERSION_INFO@
and ${nl} = ${line.separator}, with this peace of code the delete the
contains of the CVI block code, for example:
@BEGIN_CONTROL_VERSION_INFO@
Control Version Information

Checkstyle test passed.
Revision 1.3 2004/09/14 17:56:48 UF367151
================================================================================
@END_CONTROL_VERSION_INFO@
for this case is easy because the end token is at new line and it is a string
instead of character like my case(";"), so we can specify the "s" flag and
"eat" every thing with .* pattern (including the new line because the "s"
option stays that)
Please let me know any suggestion about that,
Thanks,
David
