I am looking for a generic way (Ant task) to extract information out of a file. For example I have a sql script that calls other sql scripts. I want to be able to extract the list of these sub scripts. It would be great if the task would put them in an AntXtras strings type contruct, or something equivalent (AntContrib maybe?). Ideally, this task would allow me to use regex pattern matching for the start and end tokens of the data I want to extract.
For example sql_main.sql: ... connect &&user/&&pass@&&db start &&db.sub_1.sql .... I would want to dynamically get the c_d_trig.sql put into a AntXtras strings or equivalent, by specifying the start token as ".*&&db." or even just "." and the end token as "
" Any help will be appreciated. P.S. If no one can help, I'll try the AntXtras forum. Is there a separate forum for Ant-Contrib? Thanks.
