you can use the <script> task and write your own routine.  This is what =
I have done.  I wonder if there is anything easier tho.

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to split a string that's passed in as a property,=20
but I couldn't find the task that will allow me to do this.

My build file will be fed properties like "something_something_15", and=20
I want a property generated that contains the string "15".  If the last=20
part after the underscore is not a number, I want the property generated =

to have a value "9999".

Any pointers are welcome.

TIA
