ant build.xml and regular expressions

nocturna_gr · 05-31-2011, 06:48 AM

Hi,
i am trying to create an exclude regular expression for my build.xml. The problem is, that i am trying to find some info on which REs are acceptable/valid for ant... Is ant using standard regular expressions? POSIX ones? Since it is a java-based tool, the "Java REs" are probably valid... arent they?

I am a little bit confused. If somebody can help me out with the different RE standards, i would be most obliged.

Thanks,
K

The property ant.regexp.regexpimpl governs which regular expression implementation will be chosen
