Hello, I need to make an ant task which will go into a file, look for a pattern and replace it with the contents of the ${basedir} variable.
I have the following xml to do this: <target name="replace_inf_paths" depends="init"> <replaceregexp file="${basedir}/installer/CE/DropPaq.inf" match="C\:\\.*\\DropPaq" replace="${basedir}" byline="true"/> </target> The target text is : 1 = ,"DropPaqEtc",,"C:\Documents and Settings\Neil Benn\My Documents\svnfiles\trunk\DropPaq\DropPaq\installer\CE" ; The etc directopry which contains all image and the jar file 2 = ,"CremeLib",,"C:\Documents and Settings\Neil Benn\My Documents\svnfiles\trunk\DropPaq\installer\CE\Creme\lib" ; Contains all required creme lib files 3 = ,"CremeBin",,"C:\Documents and Settings\Neil Benn\My Documents\svnfiles\trunk\DropPaq\installer\CE\Creme\bin" ; Contains all required creme bin file 4 = ,"DropPaqSave",,"C:\Documents and Settings\Neil Benn\My Documents\svnfiles\DropPaq\savefiles" ; References the save files 5 = ,"DropPaqLib",,"C:\Documents and Settings\Neil Benn\My Documents\svnfiles\trunk\DropPaq\lib" ; The lib directory 6 = ,"Bin",,"C:\Documents and Settings\Neil Benn\My Documents\svnfiles\trunk\DropPaq\installer\CE" ; Te bin directory for this app So when I run this, it finds the text but does this : 1 = ,"DropPaqEtc",,"C:Documents and SettingsNeil BennMy DocumentssvnfilestrunkDropPaq\installer\CE" ; The etc directopry which contains all image and the jar file 2 = ,"CremeLib",,"C:Documents and SettingsNeil BennMy DocumentssvnfilestrunkDropPaq\installer\CE\Creme\lib" ; Contains all required creme lib files 3 = ,"CremeBin",,"C:Documents and SettingsNeil BennMy DocumentssvnfilestrunkDropPaq\installer\CE\Creme\bin" ; Contains all required creme bin file 4 = ,"DropPaqSave",,"C:Documents and SettingsNeil BennMy DocumentssvnfilestrunkDropPaq\savefiles" ; References the save files 5 = ,"DropPaqLib",,"C:Documents and SettingsNeil BennMy DocumentssvnfilestrunkDropPaq\lib" ; The lib directory 6 = ,"Bin",,"C:Documents and SettingsNeil BennMy DocumentssvnfilestrunkDropPaq\installer\CE" ; Te bin directory for this app As you can see, I've lost the backslashes which means that the filenames are no longer valid. Is there a way I can get round this - I can't put two backslashes in basedir. The file is a windows file (used to make a cab file for a pda) so I need windows filesname. Does anyone know a way to get round this? Any and all help greatly appreciated.
