Hi,
I am looking for a way in Ant to parse a string as well as create a new string that is zero-padded. Does Ant have any built-in tasks/functions for manipulating strings? My input will be a version string in the format of x.y.z. I need to take that input and create a string that is formatted to exactly 6 characters, with each individual component of the original string resulting in 2 characters in the result string (zero left padding if the number is only one character). So if my original string is 1.2.3, my resulting string will be 010203. I have been using NAnt lately and it has some built in functions for doing this sort of string manipulation. Now I need to implement the same logic in Ant scripts. I have been looking for something similar in Ant, but I have yet to come across anything. I am using Ant v1.7.1.
