Well, if you don't mind using the AntContrib package, you could do this
using the AntContrib's <for> , <if> , and the <variable> tasks to build
the string. I haven't tested it, but it would look something like this:
<for
list="${list}"
delimiter=","
param="word">
<sequential>
<if>
<isset property="newlist"/>
<then>
<variable name="newlist"
value="@{word},${newlist}"/>
</then>
<else>
<variable name="newlist"
value="@{word}"/>
</else>
</if>
</sequential>
</for>
<echo>Old List="${list}" New List="${newlist}"</echo>
I tried playing around with regular expressions, but I couldn't get one to
do reversing.
