Subject: RegExp help needed!
/*
Hi all,
I'm fumbling my way around Ant and finding the help on the web really
confusing. I am using Ant simply as a macro copy/download/find-replace
utility and am an ActionScript programmer, not a Java one.
Anyway... There's one bit I'm stuck on and really need your help please!
I have used Ant to download an XML file and store it locally. I now need a
way of going through the XML, finding all the image URL attributes,
downloading those images and replacing all the URLs in the XML to local
relative paths. So far, all I have is:
<loadfile property="questions"
srcFile="${local.path}GetAllQuestions.xml"
/>
<propertyregex input="${questions}" property="questions.output"
regexp="Media="(.*?)"" select="\1" global="true" />
<echo message="${questions.output}" />
*/
regexp for xml or html is not recommended, better use xmltask and the power of
xpath =
xmltask
http://www.oopsconsultancy.com/software/xmltask/
xpath
http://www.w3schools.com/Xpath/
http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XPathTutorial/General/examples.html
so you would go like that =
<xmltask source="">
<call path="//module/*[liefertyp/text()='build']" target="yourdownloadtarget">
<param name..." path="..."/>
...
</call>
</xmltask>
you may post a snippet of your xml file to get the right xpath expression.
Regards, Gilbert
