ant and jikes and Textpad oh my!

[Michael Holly]

Greeting Textpad fans!

I am trying to configure a Textpad tool to run my build via ant and jikes and make the compiler output clickable.

I've worked out the whole ant thing and I have it running my build. What I cannot seem to get is the "Regular Expression to Match Output"

I am using the following Regular expression to match output:

^[ ]+\([0-9]+\)

Registers:
File: Line: 1 Column:

I found this at http://www.cs.arizona.edu/~stepp/jikes.html

What do the File, Line, and Column values do?

Here is some output from a compile.

Hi Michael

I think you want reg expression

^"\([^"]+".*$

File:1
then click on the line
"C:/source/talisen/tsr/java/net/talisen/tsr/CreditCardUtil.java":
to go to that file
Unfortunately, due to the layout of the error message it won't take you to the line and column.
Unless there's anyone who knows better...

Thanks for the quick reply.

I tried this but it did not work... When I double click on the file name I get
a dialog that says unmatched '( or {'

Any ideas?


Thanks

So Sorry

It should be
^.*"\([^"]+\)".*$
That's non-Posix (if it does not work change your option somewhere under Config->pref

...well it was Christmas day - that's my excuse
