I think that would be easier:
- Let SVN create the output in xml format
- Read that infos

<project>

<!-- Path to a directory under SVN-control -->
<property name="project.dir" value="../../svn-repository/ant/core"/>

<!-- temporary file -->
<property name="tmp.file" value="svn.info.xml"/>

<!-- Use 'svn info' output all information, but in XML -->
<exec executable="svn" dir="${project.dir}" output="${tmp.file}">
   <arg value="info"/>
   <arg value="--xml"/>
</exec>

<!-- Read the information directly from xml -->
<xmlproperty file="${tmp.file}" prefix="svn"/>

<!-- Delete the temp file -->
<delete file="${tmp.file}"/>

<!-- Print some infos -->
<echo>
    Revision    ${svn.info.entry(revision)}
    Last author  ${svn.info.entry.commit.author}
    Last commit  ${svn.info.entry.commit.date}
</echo>
<!-- or print all infos
<echoproperties prefix="svn."/>
-->
