The following target maybe of use to you.       <target name="fixCssReferences">             <foreach item="File" property="filename">                   <in>                         <items>                               <include name="**/*.css"/>                         </items>                   </in>                   <do>                         <echo message="${filename}"/>                         <property name="cssFileName" value="${filename}"/>                         <property name="find1" value="/vor/vor.site/"/>                         <property name="replace1" value="/volvooceanrace/"/>                         <property name="find2" value="/vor/vor.cms/"/>                         <property name="replace2" value="/vorcms/"/>                         <script language="C#">                               <imports>                                     <import namespace="System.Text.RegularExpressions"/>                                     <import namespace="System.IO"/>                               </imports>                               <code><![CDATA[                               public static void ScriptMain(Project project) {                                     StreamReader reader = File.OpenText(project.Properties["cssFileName"]);//${filename});                                     string file = String.Empty;                                     try {                                           Regex expression1 = new Regex(project.Properties["find1"]);                                           Regex expression2 = new Regex(project.Properties["find2"]);                                           file = reader.ReadToEnd();                                           file = expression1.Replace(file, project.Properties["replace1"]);                                           file = expression2.Replace(file, project.Properties["replace2"]);                                     } finally {                                           // must remember to close the file or the compile may not work                                           reader.Close();                                     }                                     // create a writer and open the file                                     TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(project.Properties["cssFileName"]);//${filename});                                     try {                                           // write a line of text to the file                                           tw.WriteLine(file);                                     } finally {                                           // close the stream                                           tw.Close();                                     }                               }                               ]]></code>                         </script>                   </do>             </foreach>       </target>   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Steve Baker Sent: 29 July 2005 16:34 To: Nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nant-users] regex replace   I don’t see any type of functionality in nant or nantcontrib to find and replace a string value in a file.   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,   steve     _____________________________________________________________________ VirusChecked for Huntsworth plc _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ VirusChecked for Huntsworth plc _____________________________________________________________________
