Substring / regex on a package name?

[Ben Gill <Be...@t-mobile.co.uk>]

Hi,

 

I have two questions:

 

1) I have a property called "com.myapp" within my build.xml file (or at
least loaded in at runtime), and I want to strip off everything past the
first dot (to get the base package name com)...

 

Is that possible?

 

2) Is there a rename packages ANT task?

 

Thanks

You can use ant-contrib[1] task PropertyRegex, an
example copied directly from[2] shows that it is
possible:
    <propertyregex property="pack.name"
              input="package.ABC.name"
              regexp="package\.([^\.]*)\.name"
              select="\1"
              casesensitive="false" />
    
This will yield ABC.

Or you can using a scripting language (like
javascript) in ant to manipulate your string (but I am
not so good in it to provide sample).

There is a <move> task that can rename the packages
viewed as directories. Is this want you want>
