Subject: containsregex and concat


I've been trying to use a regular expression and the concat task to pull summary tables (<table class="summary">...</table>) out of a set of test reports. The reports are all HTML files sitting in ${report.path}. The task works fine up until I start trying to select output from it with <containsregex>. Is there something wrong with my regular expression? Is there an easier way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

The code is:
====================
<target name="summary"> <!-- make a report summary -->
<property name="summary.start" value="&lt;table class=&quot;summary&quot;&gt;" /> <property name="summary.body" value=".*?" /> <!-- enable "s" for newline matches -->
   <property name="summary.end"   value="&lt;/table&gt;" />
<property name="summary.regex" value="${summary.start}${summary.body}${summary.end}" />
   <echo>${summary.regex}</echo>
   <concat>
       <header>HEADER</header>
       <fileset dir="${report.path}"
           includes="*.html"
           excludes="${summary.file}" />
           <filterchain>
               <tokenfilter>
                   <filetokenizer />
                   <containsregex flags="is"
                                  pattern="${summary.regex}" />
               </tokenfilter>
           </filterchain>
       <footer>FOOTER</footer>
   </concat>
</target>
====================

The regular expression echoes as:
====================
<table class="summary">.*?</table>
====================

I've done some testing of the expression at http://www.fileformat.info/tool/regex.htm, and it seems to work there.
