Hi All I think it will be wonderful to have a Replace task in Nant, much like it is in ANT http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/replace.html .
This is specially useful for cases like changing the value of the project URL when using Solution task. Case in point is the following that I had to write to change "http://localhost/ipm/ipm.csproj"; project URL to <build.dir>/ipm/ipm.csproj in order for my .csproj to compile using NANT's solution task. (Pardon me for a pathetic algorithm of deleting and recreating the ipm.sln file.) public static void ScriptMain(Project project) { FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(project.BaseDirectory + "\\ipm.sln"); FileStream file = File.Open(fileInfo.ToString(), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(file); string line = null; line = reader.ReadToEnd(); if(line.IndexOf("http://localhost/ipm";) != -1) { //Console.WriteLine(line); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(line); sb.Replace("http://localhost/ipm/";, project.BaseDirectory+"\\"); line = sb.ToString(); reader.Close(); fileInfo.Delete(); Console.WriteLine(line); // output the changed file contents just for verbosity file = File.Open(project.BaseDirectory+"\\ipm.sln", FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write); StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(file); writer.AutoFlush = true; writer.WriteLine(line); } file.Close(); } Please provide me with your input. Thanks in advance. -daya ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by Dice.com. Did you know that Dice has over 25,000 tech jobs available today?
