Hi,
The string::* functions include starts-with, contains, ends-with etc,
but there is no simple "regex" method.
I've scripted a custom function in my buildfile:
<script language="C#" prefix="mwj">
<references>
<include name="System.Text.RegularExpressions.dll" />
</references>
<imports>
<import namespace="System.Text.RegularExpressions" />
</imports>
<code>
<![CDATA[
[Function("regex")]
public static bool regex(String strIn, String strPattern)
{
Regex r = new Regex(strPattern);
return r.IsMatch(strIn);
}
]]>
</code>
</script>
However, I then get:
[script] scanning assembly "blah" for extensions.
Message and my build time has gone from a few seconds to 200+ seconds
for a very simple test of the mwj:regex function. The build that this
will be part of will be pretty big and long and slow, so I'm concious
that such a tiny function adding a few minutes to the build is not
good.
Yes, I could write a proper function extension, but, then I'd have to
make sure that is deployed to all NAnt users building this project.
Which isn't good.
Is there a feature I've missed? Or, is there any chance of getting
something like this checked into CVS?
I'm using it as follows (greatly simplified):
<foreach item="Line" in="./changes/resultsofhugesqljob.txt"
property="currentLine">
<echo message="Failed to compile ${lines.currentchange}."
if="${mwj::regex(currentLine, '/Msg.*, Level.*, State.*, Server.*,
Line.*/')}" />
</foreach>
