The problem is that the version number is not held in a property file (although it could be). This is one of the anthill 'features' - anthill will maintain a version file, containing a version number:

<prefix><buildNo><postfix>

It searches from the end of the string to find the first numeric portion and increments this. It's this behaviour that I'm trying to emulate with the script.
I'm CC'ing Maciej "King of the Anthill" Zawadzki on this message... perhaps the solution to this is to have Anthill use a properties file format instead. What say you, Maciej?

As for using <propertyfile> for this numbering scheme - it could be done by breaking up the prefix, build number, and postfix into separate properties, and then having a single property that glues them all together Anthill-style. If Anthill read it as a properties file, it would not matter that there were additional properties there containing the pieces, which you'd use to increment yourself with <propertyfile>.

I suspect Maciej is curious, as am I, why you are doing some tricks with this file instead of letting Anthill itself handle it.
