David- Have you looked at ReplaceRegExp Task from optional.jar..here is the doc http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/replaceregexp.html You would be able to replace match with replace for all instances where match condition is met <replaceregexp file="${src}/build.properties" match="OldProperty=(.*)" replace="NewProperty=\1" byline="true"/> replaces occurrences of the property name "OldProperty" with "NewProperty" in a properties file, preserving the existing value, in the file ${src}/build.properties
Is this what you're looking for ?
