Parse version from file name

Help/Discuss

I have a build file that retrieves a config file dependency and renames it during copy. I would like to extract the version number from the file name. File names are in the format “config-1.2.3-myname.tgz”. Ideally, I would like to end up with the version “1.2.3” in the local variable configVersion. I am renaming it as below but I’m not sure the best way to extract the version to a variable.

String configVersion

task retrieveConfig(type: Copy) {
  group 'Docker'
  description "retrieve config and extract version"
  from (configurations.myconfig) {
    rename 'config-([^-]*)-.*', 'config-$1.tgz'
  }
  into myfolder
}
