All Implemented Interfaces:
  ChainableReader, Parameterizable

public final class LineContainsRegExp
extends BaseParamFilterReader
implements ChainableReader

Filter which includes only those lines that contain the user-specified regular expression matching strings. Example:

    <linecontainsregexp>
       <regexp pattern="foo*">
     </linecontainsregexp>

Or:

    <filterreader classname="org.apache.tools.ant.filters.LineContainsRegExp">
        <param type="regexp" value="foo*"/>
     </filterreader>

This will fetch all those lines that contain the pattern `foo`
