How to use 'sed' on windows XP.

Comment:

I am trying to extract a number from a string using 'sed'. This works fine on Linux/Unix but when i do the same on windows XP its creating problems. The code is as follows : <mkdir dir="${build.dir}/framework"/> <untar src="${framework.dist}" dest="${build.dir}/framework" compression="bzip2"/> <exec executable="${sed_executable}" inputstring="${framework.dist}" outputproperty="framework.release"> <arg value="s/.*\([0-9]\.[0-9][0-9]\).*/\1/"/> </exec> </target> --------------------- basically ${framework.dist} = /export/release/ams_4.28.tar.bz2 and i want to extract 4.28 from it. Pls advise.. thanx

To get 'sed' on Windows, you will have to have Cygwin (or equivalent) installed. Guy
