ReplaceRegExp Task and line breaks
Hi,
I'm using the replaceRegexp ant task and I want to replace whatever matches
my pattern with 2 line breaks.
Right now I'm doing this:
<replaceregexp
match="(?<=<\/method>)\s*(?=^[\t ]*<method)"
replace="\n\n"
flags="gmi"
encoding="UTF-8"
>
<fileset dir="." includes="${xml.include}" />
</replaceregexp >
however, it replace the file with the \n\n as literal text. How can I
replace these w/ 2 line breaks?

Oops, that should of course be &lf;.

How about using entities? Are or 
 or &#lf; defined in the
XML dialect we're using?

I strongly doubt it's the easiest way to achieve what
you want, but you could write a script or define a
scriptdef that writes the \n (0x0A) to a property and
use it. Anyway, if you want your build to be platform
indipendent, I think ${line.separator} is still the
best choice.

Hi,
I think some of your message got cut off... Is there any way you can think
of to specify the line break literally in the xml attribute?
(Using the line.separator property works by the way!)
Thanks,
Alex

I think that should work. Basically, I think the problem is that the
XML attribute is being taken literally so \n is literally a backslash and n

Hi Alex,
I didn't test it, but you could try
replace="${line.separator}${line.separator}"
