RE: [nant-dev] Substring?

[Arjen Poutsma]

I've already created such a regex task, which sets properties based on named Groups 
(<?name>).
For example, for the regular expression ^(?<name>\w+):(?<value>\w+), you'd say:

<regex pattern="^(?&lt;name>\w+):(?&lt;value>\w+)" input="Section1:119900"/>
<echo message="${name}"/>
<echo message="${value}"/>

results in:

[echo] Section1
[echo] 119900

Note that you have to use the XML entity &lt; in order to specify a <.

I could send it to the list, or place it somewhere else, if there is interest.

Best,

Arjen
