The best way is *not* to do in place replacement.
Have the templates in a source directory and the
results in a target directory, then just use
the copy task with an expandproperties filter in a filterchain:
<project name="expand" default="build">
<property name="companyName" value="woof.com"/>
<target name="build">
<mkdir dir="target"/>
<copy todir="target">
<fileset dir="src" includes="**/*.txt"/>
<filterchain>
<expandproperties/>
</filterchain>
</copy>
</target>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="target"/>
</target>
</project>
