Question

I am using Ant and I want to match strings that look like import package.R; and import package.R.*; but not import package.Rxxx;

so it is very specific that I only want to some kind of wild card for these two characters ; and .

My current solution uses two different statements

match="import.+?\.R;"

match="import.+?\.R."

but I would like to combine them into one, for speed

Answer 1

I dont know much about ant specific regex but if it supports character classes as it should, then

match="import.+?\.R[;.]"

Should work [;.] meaning ; or .
