If I remember correctly, someone had a similar question... To get around the issue they used one of the Java built in properties like ${line.separator} instead of \n for example...

byline="true"/>


but I've got nothing. I originally posted on the coderanch forums
(http://www.coderanch.com/t/471737/Ant-Maven-Other-Build-Tools/Regular-expression-deleting-new-lines)
and have gotten no reply so I've come here for help... any ideas?
