One needs to use .* for regular expressions.

Hi...
I'm trying to filter the output from an svn update to get
the version number it's up to. I want to grab just the version number
and output that to a file. I've been experimenting with <redirector> on
<exec> but I'm running into some odd things (at least from what I can
tell out of the documentation).
<exec executable="svn" outputproperty="upout">
<arg line="update"/>
<redirector>
<outputfilterchain>
<linecontains>
<contains value="revision"/>
</linecontains>
</outputfilterchain>
</redirector>
</exec>
Correctly outputs just the last line which contains the revision number,
but
<linecontainsregexp>
<regexp pattern="*revision*"/>
</linecontainsregexp>
Produces no output. Seemed odd to me, since the pattern is effectively
the same.
Since ultimately, I also wanted to pick the rev number out
of the string I identified, I experimented with some of the other
filters, like containsstring, containsregexp, replaceregexp. For
whatever reason, I can't get any regexp to find a match on anything
containing "revision" no matter what I try. I've also run into some
oddities, like <containsregex> doesn't throw an error when not under
<tokenfilter>; unfortunately it doesn't produce a match either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to figure out why
regexps aren't hitting for me?
I'm using ant 1.6.5 on windows, by the by.
Thanks
