Flex, Generating text based files is actually pretty easy. Take a look at the echo task (specifically redirecting the output to a file). See http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/latest/help/tasks/echo.html for details.
If the file in question is XML based, there are also the XMLPeek (http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/latest/help/tasks/xmlpeek.html) and XMLPoke (http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/latest/help/tasks/xmlpoke.html) tasks. Binary data is another thing completely, but my recommendation would be to avoid that like the plague!

Well... first glance - amazed, second glance - in love and so on. However I was not able to find something vital in the help and asking in case I have overlooked... file contents management. There are functions for folders, files, but not the data inside, i.e. I can't get the file version, open some other file and update it on some line, I can't generate files at runtime which makes no fun. Please tell me I just missed them :) ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
