Dear Martin, I don't know if I can do it with ReplaceRegExp, I know this target, because I use it for situation. I need to find a correct way to match the middle of the file and to delimit each block. Thanks for your input, 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
