It is the other way around. replaceregexp like most any task in Ant predates filelist and resource collections in general. Many tasks have been adapted later, but not all of them. Please open an enhancement request in bugzilla, this will enhance the chance that the task will be made resource collection aware for Ant 1.8.x. > Is there another element that does? It depends on how complex the replacements are. For simple cases a replacetokens filter nested into a copy task may be sufficient. If it is more complex, I'm afraid there is no other solution.
