Perfect! Thank you very much. The code I ended up using is...
<target name="-pre-compile">
<copy todir="${build.web.dir}">
<fileset dir="${web.docbase.dir}"
includes="*.html.part" excludes="" />
<filterchain>
<concatfilter
prepend="${web.docbase.dir}/header.html"
append="${web.docbase.dir}/footer.html" />
</filterchain>
<mapper type="glob" from="*.html.part" to="*.html" />
</copy>
</target>
Thanks again to all who answered,
Mat.
