Re: replace < with < in property ??

Hello Gilbert

The attribute "regexp" represents the regular expression which is matched in 
the input string. You
are trying to match a pattern that's a part of the input string. I'd suggest 
using perl (can be
executed both in Linux/Win-x platforms)

  Subject: replace &lt; with < in property ??



  Hi,

  Problem =

  i have a property like that :

  &lt;bla&gt;foobar&lt;/bla&gt;

  and i want it to convert to =

  <bla>foobar</bla> before putting in
  in a mailbody

  i've tried =

  <propertyregex property="foobar"
                    input="${auftrag.bemerkung}"
                    regexp="lt;"
                    replace="<"
                    casesensitive="false" />

  but that is not accepted.

  i've tried with javascript =

  <script language="javascript"><![CDATA[
          one=project.getProperty("foobar");
          two=one.replace("&lt;", "<");
          three=two.replace("&gt;", ">");
         project.setProperty("foobar", three);
    ]]></script>

  doesn't work either, gives me =

  org.mozilla.javascript.EvaluatorException: Cannot convert &lt; to
  java.lang.Character


  Any ideas ??

  bye4now, Gilbert
