Hi, Brian:
You are right. After setting the file.encoding, it is working for now. I
agree with you that this is not a good solution for XML replacement.
I am going to try XML Task or XSLT to do this type of work.
Thanks again.
Jerry

Subject: Re: ANT replaceregexp problem
Your XML file specifies the char encoding being used (UTF-8), but I'm
guessing that the replaceregexp task won't understand this, since it's not
XML-aware. So your replacement string may be getting written out using
another encoding - most likely your default environment encoding.
Try setting -Dfile.encoding=utf8 (or it might be utf-8, or similar. You
get the idea).
Note that if you want to do XML replacement, and you need to maintain
encodings, then XMLTask may be a better solution.
