What do people think of restricting property names to the following
regular expression:
^([\w-\.]+)$
This would mean that only:
A-Z a-z 0-9 and '-' '.' would be allowed. If someone wants to restrict
it further to prevent leading numerics and - or . characters that would
be fine.
I'm starting work on adding functions to nant and the syntax I was
thinking of using is this:
<echo message="The current time is ${Time.ToString()}"/>
I want to detect a function by looking for
function-name(parameter1,param2, ...)
I see functions being added in much the same way as tasks are being
added now. There will be a core set of functions but people can create
new functions and nant will auto load them.
The set of functions I see going into NAnt is something like this:
String manipulation
Contains(string, substring) => boolean
NormalizeSpace(string) => string
Format(format, ...) => string
StartsWith(value, substring) => boolean
StringLength(string) => number
Substring(value, start) => string
Substring(value, start, length) => string
SubstringAfter(value, substring) => string
SubstringBefore(value, substring) => string
Translate(value, from, to) => string
Probing
FunctionExsists(name) => boolean
PropertyExsits(name) => boolean
FileExsists(name) => boolean
DirectoryExsists(name) => boolean
Conditionals
Equal(value1, value2) => boolean
EqualIgnoreCase(value1, value2) => boolean
Conversions
Boolean(value) => boolean
Number(value) => number
String(value) => string
Others
TempFileName() => string
TempDirectoryName() => string
Guid() => string
