Variable Filters [message #1816169]

I want to use a variable on windows for a path reference.
User is browsing and referencing directory C:\TEMP\X
So the variable DIR=C:\TEMP\X
This variable should now be stored inside eclipse.ini task as
-DDIR=C:/TEMP/X

I tried to achieve this by using an intermediate file URI and path afterwards.
variable: DIR
variable: fileURI_DIR=${DIR|uri}
Eclipse Ini: -DDIR=${fileURI_DIR|path} resulting in -DDIR=file:/C:/TEMP/X
So this looks for me like the path filter is not working on file URIs. I would expect to get -DDIR=C:/TEMP/X

Is there another way to achieve this?

Feature request:
How about enabling String.replaceAll(String regex, String replacement) variable filter.
${<variable>|replaceAll(regex,replacement)}
e.g. ${DIR|replaceAll("\\","/")} would do the trick then.
