I use propertyregex from antcontrib:

          <propertyregex property="vm.propertyname" input="${vm.propertytupel}" 
            regexp="([^#]*)#([^#]*)" 
            select="\1"
            defaultvalue="Error"
            override="true"/>
          <echo>Property vm.propertyname=${vm.propertyname}</echo>

Betreff: How to get substring of a property

Hi,
How do I get a substring of a property? Lets say I have a property whose value 
is "some.value". I want only the characters before the dot i.e.
"some". Any pointers? Please reply to me along with the 
u...@ant.apache.orgemail id

Thanks
P
