I'm using replaceregexp in Ant 1.6.5 to transform one string to another.
It's working perfectly but I'm having trouble making it do one small thing.
I'm trying to put a tab at the beginning of the replacement string but
nothing I do seems to get interpreted as a tab in the replace parameter.
Here's my task:
<target name="Set_List_Format" description="Ensure that job descriptions in
the Employment History section will appear as bulleted lists.">
<replaceregexp file="${resume.src}\${resume.pkg}\ResumeConstants.java"
match="^[\s]*public static final EmploymentHistoryFormats
DESIRED_EMPLOYMENT_HISTORY_FORMAT[\s]*=[\s]*([^;]+);[\s]*$"
replace=" public static final EmploymentHistoryFormats
DESIRED_EMPLOYMENT_HISTORY_FORMAT = EmploymentHistoryFormats.LIST_FORMAT;"
byline="true"/>
</target>
For the moment, I'm getting by with just hardcoding four spaces at the
beginning of the replace parameter but there must be some way to indicate a
tab within the replace parameter, right? If so, could someone enlighten me
on the appropriate technique? I've tried using \t \\t and even [\s](4) at
the start of the replace parameter but none of those worked.
I'd just like to put an actual tab at the start of a line rather than spaces
in case I change the tab size at some point.
