Hi Jan, Thanks for your reply, but is not what I want. I want to extract the number part of the $ant.version property. e.g.
Apache Ant version 1.7.0 compiled on April 8 2008 I just want the "1.7.0" part ant store it in another property. Is possible with ant-contrib [1] but I don't want to use third-party libraries.
