So, thats sorta the problem...replaceregex works on a file...not on a
property... Ant Contrib's version works on a property itself...
I wrote the macrodef as I did...as I can reuse it over and over...

in Java?
Hi, I found this solution:
<!-- remove prefix from path -->
<tempfile property="prefix.file" />
<echo message="${path}" file="${prefix.file}" />
<length property="prefix.length" string="${prefix}" />
<replaceregexp file="${prefix.file}" match="^.{${prefix.length}}(.*)"
replace="path.suffix=\1" />
<property file="${prefix.file}" />
<delete file="${prefix.file}" deleteonexit="true" />
<echo message="path.suffix=${path.suffix} via ${prefix.file}" />
What I don't like are the accesses to the file system.
Can they be avoided?
You ant experts certanly know smarter ways to do this :-)
