This question was replied to with a question from another topic. So I'm
sending it again:
Is it possible to 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. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
