Storing RegEx In Properties Files?

[Tennis Smith <te...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I'm processing a series of log files and looking at each one for certain
strings of interest.  Rather than keep the regex strings in the ant file
itself, it would be preferable to keep them as a group of properties stored
in a file.

Is this possible?  Has anyone tried keeping their regex values in a
properties file?

Properties are strings, a regular expression is a string - what are
your concerns?

Something popping up is that '#' and '!' start a comment in a property
string. You need to make sure to escape them.
