Hi, David
i would go with regex and ruby, i.e. =
with a given file test.html like that :
<html><body>
<p>foobar</p>
<li>
<p class="ListNumber" style>Delete me.</p>
</li>
<p>foobaz</p>
</body></html>
and an antscript like that :
<project name="bla" default="main" basedir=".">
<target name="main">
<script language="ruby">
<![CDATA[
infile = 'Y:/test.html'
outfile = 'Y:/testnew.html'
old = File.read(infile)
old.gsub!(/<li.*<\/li>/m, "")
File.open(outfile, "w") {|new| new.write(old)}
File.open(outfile, "w") {|new| new.write(old)}
if infile == outfile
puts 'Modified = '<<infile<<' inplace'
else
puts 'Modified = '<<infile<<' to = '<<outfile
end
]]>
</script>
</target>
</project>
you get a testnew.html like that :
<html><body>
<p>foobar</p>
<p>foobaz</p>
</body></html>
Options in the ruby part =
you could use the same file for infile and outfile, your
html file gets modified inplace then.
you need =
bsf.jar (Bean Scripting Framwork)
http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/
jruby.jar
http://jruby.codehaus.org/

Subject: replace and replaceregexp - Multi line tokens or substitution
expressions ?
Does anyone know if there is way for a token to include multiple lines? I want
to strip four lines from HTML files.
<li>
<p class="ListNumber" style>Delete me.</p>
</li>
