This doesn't work either :o(
To show the bigger picture, I have a line in a php file, that looks like
this:
// Choose your wassup host
define("WS_WASSUPHOST", "somehost.somedomain.net");
during build I need to be able to substitute this
somehost.somedomain.net with another one that comes from a property file.
<
replaceregexp
file="${artifactsdir}/${label}/${env}/src/include/configuration_wassup.php"
match="define(\"WS_WASSUPHOST\" *, *\".*\");"
replace="define(\"WS_WASSUPHOST\","${dev.bck.mmc.ws_wassuphost}\");"
/>
This code fails with erros, the one I wrote previously doesn't work at
all, the one You gave me as well, and neither does the version of the
one above with double escaped double-quotes, which causes erros like this:
mmc.xml:84: Element type "replaceregexp" must be followed by either
attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".
where line 84 is the one that starts with the word 'match'.
Can You tell me how to correct it? I'd appreciate greatly.
Best regards,

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
