Re: [Nant-users] inplace use of filterchain

John,
There's no <replace> task right now, but it could be a useful addition.  Are 
you volunteering to tackle it ? ;-)

Subject: [Nant-users] inplace use of filterchain

I want to use the filterchain to replace the assemblyInfo's version with
my next version for each project in my solution before I build

I first thought I could use copy and just copy inplace with the
following

           <copy todir="." overwrite="true" verbose="true">
               <fileset>
                   <include name="**/AssemblyInfo.cs" />
               </fileset>
              <filterchain>
                       <replacestring from="1.0.*" to="${NextVersion}"
/>
               </filterchain>
           </copy>

But that gave me the following output

    [copy] Copying 3 files to 'C:\Common\Test\Tools\TestSolution'.
    [copy] Skipping self-copy of
'C:\Common\Test\Tools\TestSolution\UI.Web\AssemblyInfo.cs'.
    [copy] Skipping self-copy of
'C:\Common\Test\Tools\TestSolution\Class2\AssemblyInfo.cs'.
    [copy] Skipping self-copy of
'C:\Common\Test\Tools\TestSolution\Class1\AssemblyInfo.cs'.

I ended up doing the following which worked.

           <!-- update AssemblyInfo files -->
           <copy todir="temp" overwrite="true" verbose="true">
               <fileset>
                   <include name="**/AssemblyInfo.cs" />
               </fileset>
              <filterchain>
                       <replacestring from="1.0.*" to="${NextVersion}"
/>
               </filterchain>
           </copy>
           <copy todir="..\TestSolution" overwrite="true"
verbose="true">
               <fileset basedir="temp">
                   <include name="**/AssemblyInfo.cs" />
               </fileset>
           </copy>

I'm wondering though, if there is any mechanism to apply filterchains to
files without copying or moving them elsewhere?
