Maybe this will solve your problem instead (using flat file instead of xml):

I have taken a look at the <version> task in the nantcontrib project, but that is not what I am looking for. I am looking for simple ability to do arithmetic. I want to take a property (which is a number), add one to it so that I can use it in other places within my build script. I want to use <xmlpeek> and <xmlpoke> to read and persist the small xml file that represents my projects build version. It looks like this... <buildversion> <major>3</major> <minor>2</minor> <bugfix>0</bugfix> <build>75</build> </buildversion> So after executing my build script, the xml would look like this <buildversion> <major>3</major> <minor>2</minor> <bugfix>0</bugfix> <build>76</build> </buildversion> I have attached a sample build file to indicate the things I would like to do. Anyone have any advice in what would be the best way to solve this problem? Is the <script> task applicable for this situation?
