+## Goals
+
+| Goal                 | Description |
+| -------------------- | ----------- |
+| `replace-file`       | Apply a regular expression pattern against the contents of a file, replacing matches with the regex-compliant replacement text.  The existing file is changed. |
+| `replace-properties` | Apply a regular expression pattern against a set of property values, replacing matches with the regex-compliant replacement text, and storing in new properties. |
+| `replace-property`   | Apply a regular expression pattern against a property value, replacing matches with the regex-compliant replacement text, and storing in a new property. |
+| `replace-text`       | Apply a regular expression pattern against text, replacing matches with the regex-compliant replacement text, and storing in a new property. |
+| `match-file`         | Evaluate a regular expression pattern against the contents of a file, storing the result in a boolean property. |
+| `match-filename`     | Evaluate a regular expression pattern against the name of a file, storing the result in a boolean property. |
+| `match-properties`   | Evaluate a regular expression pattern against a set of property values, storing the result in boolean properties. |
+| `match-property`     | Evaluate a regular expression pattern against a property value, storing the result in a boolean property. |
+| `match-text`         | Evaluate a regular expression pattern against text, storing the result in a boolean property. |
+| `copy-file`          | A convenience goal that copies all files/folders specified in a source path to a target path. |
+| `move-file`          | A convenience goal that moves all files/folders specified in a source path to a target path. |

+## Model
+
+### Object Type: `Regex`

+| `replacement`     | `String`  |          | ``      | A regular expression replacement string. |
+| `previousPattern` | `String`  |          |         | A regular expression pattern to look back against, removing everything down to and including the pattern. |
+
+The `previousPattern` allows for you to match some text and remove everything before the match, up to the `prevoiusPattern`.  This is useful when matching a method and removing it and all its annotations.  If the `previousPattern` has no match, it will not remove any text before the primary match.
