Hello,

I am able to do some very simple regexp replacement with the replaceregexp 
ant task but now need to do something a little more advanced.

Say I have a string in a file like this:

        require(["a","foo/b","foo/c"], function(){...})

What I want to do is replace all the "foo" with "bar" so the final product 
looks like this:

        require(["a","bar/b","bar/c"], function(){...})

With replaceregexp the best I've been able to get was below using regexp 
like "require\(\s*\[(.*)foo/([^\]]*)\]"

        require(["a","foo/b","bar/c"], function(){...}) 

(I can't just do a global replace on "foo" because I only want to do the 
replacement in this "require" context.)

Any ideas?

Thanks for any advice,
Greg
