Does anyone know if you can use wildcards in the token attribute of the
replace task? Say I have a file called text.txt that looks like this:
text.txt:
line1="blah blah blah";
line2="something else";
Now I want to use a replace task in my build.xml that looks like:
....
<target name="replace"">
<replace file="text.txt" value="line1=${some.new.property};">
<replacefilter token="line1=" * ";/>
</replace>
</target>
.....
I want to use the * because I want to replace the whole line with a new
line. I won't always know the exact text in text.txt, so it would be more
useful just to replace a whole line. Is there a way to do this (I tried the
* and it didn't work)? I tried to look for docs on replacefilter but I
couldn't find any.
