Use the "replace" task, it does exactly that.
Here's an example from one of my macrodefs:
<replace dir="@{target}" includes="@{includes}" excludes="@{excludes}"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]" summary="yes"
casesensitive="@{casesensitive}"/>
@{target} is the target directory to replace
@{includes} is the pattern set to match (typically, you do not want to
include binaries or jar files
@{file} is the file with the properties
@{casesensitive} what you'd expect.
Hope this fits your needs.

Hi,
I have a file of string properties and I need to be able to insert ant
properties into it where referenced. So, for example:
#########
text.file
#########
app.version=${version}
app.name=${name}
app.author=John Doe
#########
props.file
#########
version=4
name=My Application
I need a task or way to provide a property file and replace all
occurrences
with the corresponding property in a given text file. So a command
like
this:
<replacePropertiesInFile file="text.file"
propertyDefinitions="props.file"/>
Is there anything like this?
Thanks in advance!
