Stefan, I am not sure I understood, do <linecontainsregexp> and <replaceregexp>
already exists or are those just the names you are proposing for them?
My real silly need relates to some CVS targets I am trying to define.
I need to get the name of the current CVS branch of my build. And the only what
I see getting it is by looking at CVS/Tag file. But in there the name
is preceded by a one char code and I could not found a way to remove this
first char without using "sed". A real pitty, you would thing we should be
able to do such a simple thing without requiring executing external progs.
<!--Stupid way to obtain the current branch of the top directory-->
<exec executable="sed" output="curtag.txt">
<arg value="-e"/>
<arg value="s/.\(.*\)/\1/"/>
<arg value="${basedir}/CVS/Tag"/>
</exec>
<loadfile property="curbranch" srcFile="curtag.txt">
<filterchain>
<striplinebreaks/>
</filterchain>
</loadfile>
<delete file="curtag.txt"/>
If anyone has a simpler solution for this, please let me know.
Jose Alberto
