I don’t see any type of functionality in nant or nantcontrib to find and

There is xmlpoke for xml files. How are people doing the same type of
thing for non xml files?
I wrote a task for this myself a while back, but sometimes clients
prefer to use only publicly supported tasks.
It went something like this:
<regex-replace file=”filepath” find=”regex expression” replace=”replace
value” casesensitive=”true” />
Am I missing something that exists in nant or contrib itself? Why
wouldn’t something like this be included?
Thanks,

I had to do just this today. The standard NAnt tasks <copy> and <move>
(and maybe others I haven't noticed) support modifying files via
<filterchain>, eg:
<copy file="myfile" tofile="mynewfile">
<filterchain>
<replacestring from="09-Mar" to="9-3"/>
<replacestring from="09-May" to="9-5"/>
</filterchain>
</copy>
