The following reg ex should work for you: [^-]*-[^-]*-(.*) You will need to adjust it so it works in <propertyregex> by adding appropriate escapes.
I use the RegexCoach tool to check reg exs. It is available from http://weitz.de/regex-coach.

Could anyone give me a hand with the regexp and select? <propertyregex property="pack.name" input="${application.version}" regexp="\-([^\.]*\)" select="\1" casesensitive="false" /> thanks, Remon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
