## 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. |
### Common Configuration Properties
| Configuration Property | Data Type | Required | Default | Description |
| ---------------------- |:-----------:|:--------:| ------- | ----------- |

## Model
### Object Type: `Regex`
| Element | Data Type | Required | Default | Description |
| ----------------- |:---------:|:--------:| ------- | ----------- |
| `pattern` | `String` | Yes | | A regular expression pattern. |
| `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.
