Set a property based on a regular expression (without ant-contrib)

Hi all,

I'm new to ant and I'm facing the following problem:

I want to know the current ant version, e.g. 1.7.0, I
know that there are built-in properties, but in some
linux distros -like gentoo- the {$ant.version}
property result is:

Apache Ant version 1.7.0 compiled on April 8 2008

and I just want only the "1.7.0" part. Is There a way
to set a value of a property based on the match of a
regular expression, similar to propertyregexp of
ant-contrib? I want to do it with ant's core, not
external libraries.

I hope that someone can give some advice.

Best Regards,

Posted by Ja...@rzf.fin-nrw.de.
Then use Stefans <available>s in a <condition>

<condition property="version" value="1.7.0"><available-17> 
<condition property="version" value="1.6.3"><available-163> 
...

Since Ant 1.7.1 you could use <antversion>
<project>
  <antversion property="v"/>
  <echo>Version: ${v}</echo>
</project>

So maybe you want to use that task and port that to your environment.

Re: AW: Set a property based on a regular expression (without ant-contrib)

Posted by Iv�n Perdomo <ia...@yahoo.com>.
Hi Jan,

Thanks for your reply, but is not what I want. I want
to extract the number part of the $ant.version
property. e.g.

Apache Ant version 1.7.0 compiled on April 8 2008

I just want the "1.7.0" part ant store it in another
property. Is possible with ant-contrib [1] but I don't
want to use third-party libraries.

Thanks,

Re: Set a property based on a regular expression (without ant-contrib)

Posted by David Weintraub <qa...@gmail.com>.
This might exactly what you're looking for: Check the <condition>
task. It has the ability to examine the Ant version, so you can verify
that you're running the correct Ant version.

If not, take a look at the AntContrib task <propertyregex>.
<http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/index.html>

That will let you filter out the version ID from the property string.
