Just be careful if you are using filterchain/filterreplace on binary files.
Encoding issues can end up transcoding some bytes in binary files. Much has
been written on this topic and I would pay close attention.

Betreff: Can Ant Edit/replace some words in a file
Hi,
I am using Ant to copy some files (eg. program files like template
program).
Then I want to replace some keywords inside the file with another
word.
Can I use Ant to do it?
If possible please guide me.
What I am thinking is to change the words with (sed) and use Ant to
run that (sed). But I am not sure.
rgds,

Also try to keep the filtered files few because a good advice is to use
overwrite="true" in the copy task. If you don't use overwrite you could
be changing the filters file and the changes won't be copied over,
because ant sees the dates are ok between the original file and the
destination file (it doesn't check the date on the filter file).
