Re: [NAnt-users] editing a VBP
Hi Bob, I have had to do this in the past for various reasons (binary compatibility, setting versions to specific values, etc.) and I was never able to find a suitable way to do it with nant alone. Ultimately, I ended up writing a vbscript that would do the work for me and then I would just call it from my build scripts.

Re: [NAnt-users] editing a VBP
The only things I could think of was to use a filterchain with a replacestring filter. However, there don't seem to be any wildcards or regex capabilities there. I guess I could just do it the hard way, read each line of the file looking for those lines and modifying them and then write the file out. I'm pretty sure that will work, but it just seems excessive. If no one else has any suggestions I will go with that.

Re: [NAnt-users] editing a VBP
Or, any other quick and dirty ways to modify a vbp file. I want to set the
MajorVer, MinorVer and RevisionVer values.
For this specific task, we use a combination of a custom regex
function, and the loadfile, property and echo tasks.
The script:
script language=C# prefix=regex
code
imports
import namespace=System.Text.RegularExpressions/
/imports
![CDATA[
[Function(replace)]
public static string RegexReplace(string pSource,
string pSearch, string pReplace)
{
RegexOptions options = RegexOptions.IgnoreCase |
RegexOptions.Multiline;
Regex re = new Regex(pSearch, options);
return re.Replace(pSource, pReplace);
}
]]
/code
/script
The nant target:
target name=vb6versioning
description=Set version information in VB6 applications.
failonerror=true
loadfile file=${projectFileName} property=project.file /
property name=ex value=MajorVer *=
*[0-9]*[\r\n]*$ /
property name=newvalue value=MajorVer=${buildnumber.major} /
property name=project.file value=${regex::replace(project.file,
ex, newvalue)} /
property name=ex value=MinorVer *=
*[0-9]*[\r\n]*$ /
property name=newvalue value=MinorVer=${buildnumber.minor} /
property name=project.file value=${regex::replace(project.file,
ex, newvalue)} /
property name=ex value=RevisionVer *=
*[0-9]*[\r\n]*$ /
property name=newvalue
value=RevisionVer=${buildnumber.build} /
property name=project.file value=${regex::replace(project.file,
ex, newvalue)} /
property name=ex value=AutoIncrementVer *=
*[0-9]*[\r\n]*$ /
property name=newvalue value=AutoIncrementVer=0 /
property name=project.file value=${regex::replace(project.file,
ex, newvalue)} /
echo message=${project.file} file=${projectFileName} /
/target
A bit brute force, but, it works for us.
