You can maybe use the <echo> task for creating an xml file <echo file="foo.xml"> <![CDATA[ <settings> </settings> ]]> </echo>

I am working on a project where I am using a utility called XMLPreprocess which needs a input file in a format of /settings/properties/@name. I would want to create this file at build time driven off of a nant.include file (I have that part done already). I was wondering what other people are doing for creating a xml file with NAnt. A file that does not exist before the NAnt script starts, one that NAnt creates with some task. I was looking at making a change to XMLPoke with an boolean switch to tell it to create the file if it doesn't exist and to also enter an element and/or attribute if they don't exist either. I have found other situtations, outside of my little XMLPreprocess issue where this would be really usful. Just looking for suggestions before spending too much time on this. Maybe someone has already built this already? If not, does anyone else think that this would be a nice to have that maybe NAnt should "just have" for us?
