"URI malformed" error with dynamic file references

<img src="<%= Document.GetValue("ImageFileName") %>" alt="<%= Document.GetValue("ImageAltText") %>" />

We have a .NET CMS, and it's quite common to use dynamically generated file references, such as the example above. I get a "URI malformed" error because obviously it can't handle the <%= ... expression. Is there any way to set an ignore pattern so we can detect dynamic file references and skip over them?

You can add a string/regex in the ignorePatterns option, i.e.

{
    ignorePatterns: ['<%']
}

Just a note here, in 0.6.1 I got this working by using the escaped value, i.e.

{
    ignorePatterns: ['%3C%']
}

Not sure if the reason was because of some of our own post-processing or because of grunt-cache-bust, but perhaps this will help someone.

Great job on this Grunt task! We are really thankful for all of your hard work.

Thanks for checking this. I'd recommend trying out the feature/v1.0.0-beta branch and have a read through #147 - things will get a lot easier in the next version.
