Lior,
You might be able to use the echo task to generate the versioninfo.res file,
or use a <replacetoken> filter to replace the placeholders.
I certainly don't think you need a separate task for this.

Subject: [nant-dev] Idea for a new task: <fillTemplateFile>
> Hi All,
>
> I tried to figure out how NAnt will do the build process at my work (Nice
systems).
> I think it covers all tasks but one.
>
> The problem:
> During the build there is "versioninfo.res" file in each product folder
(It was copied from
> another folder).
> Then it is merged into the executable as version meta data. It is a
simple text file:
> Nice Systems
> .......
> Product $$1 : Version $$2
> ......
>
> A small c executable replaces $$1 with the current product
("logger"/"screen"/etc.) and $$2
> with the version (9.0.1.4).
> Then the file is linked into the product executable.
>
> Same case is for a build summary report.
>
> Solution:
>
> I would like to introduce a new task:
>
> <fillTemplateFile filename="versioninfo.res">
> <placeholder name="product" value="${product}" />
> <placeholder name="version" value="${version}" />
> </fillTemplateFile>
>
> The file will be more readable now:
> Nice Systems
> .......
> Product {product} : Version {version}
> ......
>
> I would like to write this task. I am new to NAnt, so I am not certain
about the procedure.
>
> I still have two open issues:
> how to distinct between replacable values and text in the target file.
> find a simple way to pass over all sub folders and make that change.
>
> I can show adding an optional attribute occurrences="4" can solve other
cases I did not
> present here.
>
> If you approve it I will start the work.
