Your problem is that this is not a .properties file, which have
a very specific format and semantic. If you maintained 2 files,
one a real property file with the same info, and another in your
desired format, you should be able to do what you want.
- CVS update both files, version.properties and version.txt
- Manipulate version.properties with <propertyfile>.
- Load the properties (with <property file="">) from the
updated version.properties
- Simply <echo> your update version.txt file
<echo file="version.txt">
[Version]
Version=${Version}
Build=${Build}
Date=${Date}
</echo>
You may have to prefix properties when re-loading them,
since Ant properties are immutable.
There are other ways to do this with regular expressions
and the tasks that use them, but I think the dual file
approach above is the simplest, and closest to what you tried.
