[Anthill] Anthill ${version} property

[rhonda.brown at lynx.co.uk]

Hi
   

I have read that the ${version} property is made up of <prefix> <buildNo> <postfix>.  Is there a way of just extracting the <buildNo> from this property to tag certain source files?
   

I have used the property ${version} to tag the files as seen below in the build file:
   

<cvs command="tag ${build.type}_release_${version}_repository_${build.number} ${repository.home}" cvsroot="${cvs.connection}"/>
   

The build is successful, except it is not tagging any of the files as expected.  I have checked the build log and found the following message:
   

cvstag:
     [echo] build.number=120
      [cvs] cvs [tag aborted]: tag `Ver_release_1.0.4187_resources_120' must not contain the characters `$,.:;@'
   

   

Is there any way to get the last 4 digits from the version number as it does not allow any form of punctuation to separate the numbers?
   

Thanks in advance
   

Rhonda
