But it is possible to do a string/token replacement -- not exactly what you asked, but it can get the job done. This is done using a FilterChain, http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/filterchain.html I'm using this feature to replace certain strings in my files with the empty string (removal). In the example below, I replace "from" with "to" from: "APE.namespace("APE.dom");" to: "" http://dhtmlkitchen.com/ape/build.xml <concat destfile="${src}/dom/_dom.js"> <filelist dir="${src}/dom" files="viewport-f.js, position-f.js, classname-f.js, traversal-f.js, Event.js"/> <filterchain> <tokenfilter> <replacestring from="APE.namespace("APE.dom");" to=""/> <replacestring from="APE.namespace('APE.dom');" to=""/> </tokenfilter> </filterchain> </concat> Garrett > Cheers, > Anthony --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
