try the ANT contrib task propertyregexp
http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/propertyregex.html
One example would be to use it this way
<propertyregex property="dest.file"
input="${current.file}"
regexp="(.*)\.TEMPLATE"
select="\1"
casesensitive="false" />
<copy file="${current.file}" flatten="true"
tofile="${dir.dist}/${current.env}/${dest.file}">
<filterchain>
<expandproperties/>
</filterchain>
</copy>
