You must also escape the \ character
<
replaceregexp
file="${artifactsdir}/${label}/${env}/src/include/configuration_wassup.php"
match='define(\\"WS_WASSUPHOST\\" *, *\\".*\\");'
replace='define(\\"WS_WASSUPHOST\\", \\"${dev.bck.mmc.ws_wassuphost}\\");'
/>

Subject: How to escape characters in regexp strings?
Hi,
I have a problem. I'm trying to have ant substitute something in a few
files. Here's the sample:
<
replaceregexp
file="${artifactsdir}/${label}/${env}/src/include/configuration_wassup.php"
match='define("WS_WASSUPHOST" *, *".*");'
replace='define("WS_WASSUPHOST", "${dev.bck.mmc.ws_wassuphost}");'
/>
This does not give me any errors, but it doesn't do anything. When I
tried the same with " instead of ' in the match and replace attributes,
obviously I'd need to escape other occurrences of " in the text. How do
I do that? \" doesn't work :o( I will appreciate any help.
Best regards,
Krzysztof Kucybała
