This may be very simplistic, but what about just an echo message into
the file? You can use a property for the variable data like the build
number and date. You probably need an echo statement for each line.
<echo message="Build=${build.number}" file="c:\directory\version.txt"/>

Your problem is that this is not a .properties file, which have a very
specific format and semantic. If you maintained 2 files, one a real
property file with the same info, and another in your desired format,
you should be able to do what you want.
- CVS update both files, version.properties and version.txt
- Manipulate version.properties with <propertyfile>.
- Load the properties (with <property file="">) from the
updated version.properties
- Simply <echo> your update version.txt file
<echo file="version.txt">
[Version]
Version=${Version}
Build=${Build}
Date=${Date}
</echo>
You may have to prefix properties when re-loading them, since Ant
properties are immutable.
There are other ways to do this with regular expressions and the tasks
that use them, but I think the dual file approach above is the simplest,
and closest to what you tried.
