Bulk token substitution

Hello, I'm looking to do bulk replacement of tokens in a file. This is to replace a perl-based build solution.I have created the single-replacement solution in ant, but I am somewhat stumped as to how to do a bulk substitution. The following code copies all files named *.src to a ne
