I want to perform validation on the version string to insure that it actually matches the specified pattern. So far as I am aware, I can't do this validation in the wrapper (I'm bound by a Windows .bat file), but I believe I can do it in Ant. However, all of the documentation I've read only concerns pattern matching in either file names or file contents. Is there a task in the Ant canon, either the 'core' tasks or the 'optional' tasks, which will do this for me? For that matter, if anyone out there is a whiz at .bat files and can explain to me how to do the validation there, I'll be happy with that, too.
