Ok,
thanks for the answer,
in fact, I have modified the file for not having new lines any more.
But I will remember the difference between '*' and '*?', that could be useful :)

You need to look into the documentation of the regexp package you have Ant setup to use (the default is java.util.regex in JDK 1.4; you can find docs for it here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html).
The quantifier you used, '*', is characterized as a greedy quantifier. Try
'*?' (reluctant quantifier).

Subject: replaceregexp on multiple lines
Hi,
I have a file containing several times something like (xx is different) :
<language lang="xx">
<a>...</a>
</language>
For some of them (depending on "xx"), I want to keep only the <a>...<.a> part.
For the others, I wan to completely remove them.
I tried this :
<replaceregexp
match='<language lang="@{current.language}">(.*)
</language>'
replace='\1' flags='gm'>
<fileset dir="@{current.dir}" includes="index.*.html"/>
</replaceregexp>
but the problem if pattern is first matched with the text between the first <language lang="xx"> of the file and the last </language> and not closest one.
Is there an other way to replace the text ?
TIA, Nicolas
