Hi all,

Is negative lookahead supported at all in Ant 1.7 and higher (Ant-Contrib, 
too)?  Maybe my syntax is off:

<propertyregex property="result" input="a.b.c.bad" select="\1" regexp="(.*(?!bad))" 
defaultValue="" override="true"/>
<propertyregex property="result" input="a.b.c.ok" select="\1" regexp="(.*(?!bad))" 
defaultValue="" override="true"/>

The first result should be the empty string and the second result should be "a.b.c.ok". I'm also looking to use this idea in <propertyset> to exclude certain properties.

See the regular expression page on this:

Thanks for any assistance!

Enjoy,
