Another Problem with a regular expression
Hello;
it's me again.
i tought everything was fine but then i saw strange problem with my propertyregexp usage.
my snippet is:
<propertyregex property="some.name" override="true" input="${some.input}" regexp="([0-9A-Z\/\.a-z]+)" replace="${some.dir}\1" global="true"/>
some.dir being an absolute windows directory: c:\foo\bar\dude
some.input being a relative directory= /some/other/directory
when i run this i get as a result:
C\:foobardude/some/other/directory
with allthe "\" removed from some.dir.
Any clue?
(i tried to add the backslach in regexp but it does not change anything...)

no because the line does not start with a blank.
thanks anyway:)
i have solved my problem(see my previous mail) with regexp="([0-9A-Z\/\.a-z]+)" replace="myPrefix\1"

Hi,
You could try to replace the blank character by ' myPrefix' (not the
blank before myPrefix).
<propertyregex property="regexp.name"
input="Foo Bar Blah Blah"
regexp=" "
replace=" myPrefix"
global="true"
casesensitive="false" />

You need to escape the backslashes, see e.g.
http://www.regular-expressions.info/java.html
