escaping tilde in filename extension
I'm trying to move files according to extension and content prior to parsing and
some files have an extension of .xml~. These files are duplicates of existing
.xml files and I want to keep them for legacy purposes. I've been unable to move
them using the following
<move todir="${l_Drive}workFolder\archived">
<fileset dir="${l_Drive}workFolder\drop01">
<filename name="*.xml~" />
</fileset>
</move>
The tilde seems to be causing problems.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try, this...CDATA will look for that literal string and will not read it
as special chars.
<replace dir="${server.dir}" value ="<" >
<include name="*Control.cs" />
<replacetoken><![CDATA[<]]></replacetoken>
</replace>

Try escaping the & character xml-style with & instead of \&
pattern="&lt;"

String replace.

Hi,
Does someone know how to replace a string such as "<" to be "<" in a html file by ANT.
The target that I have created in my build.xml is :
"
...
<target name="change">
<replaceregex file="test.html" pattern="\<" replace="<" />
<replaceregex file="test.html" pattern="\>" replace=">" />
</target>
..
",
but I see such errors:
"
The value of attribute "replace" associated with an element type "replaceregex" must not contain the '<' character.
"
Thanks a lot,
Charlie

You need to disable the defaultincludes attribute.
<fileset dir="${i_D}/..." defaultexcludes="no">
<include name="*.xml~"/>
</fileset>
