           Summary: regexp cannot be negated
           Product: Ant
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: protected@nc.rr.com


There is no way to negate a regexp. For example, the following will find lines 
containing "foo":

      <filterchain>
        <linecontainsregexp>
            <regexp pattern="foo*"/>
        </linecontainsregexp>
      </filterchain>

But there is no way to find lines that do *not* contain "foo".
