http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22542 ReplaceRegExp task updates modified time of directory Summary: ReplaceRegExp task updates modified time of directory Product: Ant Version: 1.5.4 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Optional Tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have the following entry in a task: <replaceregexp file="${distdir}/bin/launch.props" byline="true" match="versionstring" replace="${version}" flags="g"/> Even when this is not run because there is no replacement required, the directory of the file being operated upon (${distdir}/bin in this example) has its modified timestamp updated to the time this action is executed which causes some of my other tasks to go into action. This is an unwanted and undocumented side effect (therefore probably a bug) especially considering how replaceregexp states that it doesn't unnecessarily update the files timestamp when no changes are required. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
