I have a similar need. I need to filter out NAnt output after the build is complete. I would like to specify a regular expression and remove any xml nodes in the Nant output whose content matches the regular expression.
In particular I'd like to ignore warnings that references Microsoft Visual C++ codes in standard include files. I get hundreds of these and they clutter NAnt's output making it difficult to find warnings and errors generated by our code. I'm using the <exec> task to execute devenv.com to compile our code since our solutions don't build well with the <solution> task. I could potentially have the <exec> task send the output to a file but I would need to concatenate a number of these output files since our build requires calling devenv.com about 8 times. Currently I wrote a custom task for CCNet to filter NAnt xml output. It would be nice to have a NAnt target execute my build and then use the <style> task to remove the offending nodes (if this is possible, I don't know xslt very well). Any ideas on how I might go about this better? My current solution works but it does require an extra solution of code to be compiled and deployed to the CCNet server. Using the <style> task would only require that the xslt is correct!

I'm not sure exactly what needs to be in the script you are generating but I would consider xslt as one possible option. You can call it using the <style> task and pass a bunch of paramaters thru. Then of course you could use the <script> task or a custom task - then you get the use of all of System.Xml for writing the target file.
