Nested tags

The ReplaceRegExp filter must contain one or more regexp tags. These must have pattern and replace attributes. The full list of supported attributes is as following:

Table 191.  Attributes for the <regexp> tag

Name Type Description Default Required
pattern String Regular expression used as needle. Phing relies on Perl-compatible regular expressions. n/a Yes
replace String Replacement string. n/a Yes
ignoreCase Boolean Whether search is case-insensitive. false No
multiline Boolean Whether regular expression is applied in multi-line mode. false No
modifiers String Raw regular expression modifiers. You can pass several modifiers as single string, and use raw modifiers with ignoreCase and multiline attributes. In case of conflict, value specified by dedicated attribute takes precedence. '' No

The previous example (using modifiers attribute this time):

<filterchain>
  <replaceregexp>
	<regexp pattern="ANT" replace="Phing" modifiers="i"/>
	<regexp pattern="(\w+)\.java" replace="\1.php"/>
  </replaceregexp>
</filterchain>
