I don't know of any core ANT tasks (i.e. default) that will read and merge files. However, there are a number of external tools that you can use that may do what you're looking to achieve. Most of the ones I've seen simply work with XML though. If you're not merging XML, then you may need to write your own ANT task, which is fun in and of itself. :)
