Sorry, got pulled away all the day on a broken build.
Thank you for your help. That worked. :)
I have one more question please. I got all the parts to work, however crued! Now I'm working on the date piece
I now modified my file as follows:
-------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="NextBuldNum" default="buildnum" basedir=".">
<property name="sys.date" value="date" /> <property name="sys.time" value="time" />
********************************************
I AM LOST HERE NOW: The exec line by itself works but how do I get the result of the date.exe back into here? With Args?
<target name="timedate"> <exec executable="C:/cygwin/bin/date.exe `+%a %D %r`" /> <arg line="/c dir"/> </exec>
</target> ********************************************
<target name="buildnum">
<buildnumber file="mybuild.number"/>
<echo>build#:${build.number}</echo><echo file="verstamp1.txt" append="false">[Version]</echo>
<echo file="verstamp1.txt" append="true">${line.separator}</echo>
<echo file="verstamp1.txt" append="true">Version=5.0</echo> <echo file="verstamp1.txt" append="true">${line.separator}</echo>
<echo file="verstamp1.txt" append="true">Build=${build.number}</echo>
<echo file="verstamp1.txt" append="true">${line.separator}</echo><echo file="verstamp1.txt" append="true">Date=${date}</echo>
</target> </project>
-----------expected output--------- <!-- [Version] --> <!-- Version=n.nn --> Dictated by marketing; a constant for now <!-- Build=nnn --> <!-- Date=Wed 04/13/05 05:08:30 PM --> -------------------------

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.
