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.
