extracting revision number using ant-contrib regexp

I'm using ant-contrib's propertyregex task to try to extract a revision
number from the repository without making any changes to a sandbox, so svn
up is no good...

I'm using this for the regexp attribute to parse the output of svn info:

regexp="Path: ([^\.]*)\n                                                                        
  URL: ([^\.]*)\n                                                                          
  Repository Root: ([^\.]*)\n                                                                  
  Repository UUID: ([^\.]*)\n                                                                  
  Revision: ([^\.]*)\n                                                                      
  Node Kind: ([^\.]*)\n                                                                      
  Last Changed Author: ([^\.]*)\n                                                                
  Last Changed Rev: ([^\.]*)\n                                                                  
  Last Changed Date: ([^\.]*)\n"

now just doing select="\5" should get the revision number but all I get
returned is "${rev}" the name of the property I am storing it in, not the
value.

Is my regexp wrong?
