Can you use <filter> without first creating a filterset?
I always thought it was this:
<target name="filter_me">
<property file="filter_me.properties"/>
<copy todir="target/somedir" filtering="true" overwrite="true" >
<filterset>
<filter token="foo" value="${foo}" />
</filterset>
<fileset dir="src">
<include name="*.txt*"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
</target>
When you define a filterset, you can define a begintoken and endtoken:
<target name="filter_me">
<property file="filter_me.properties"/>
<copy todir="target/somedir" filtering="true" overwrite="true" >
<filterset>
<filter token="foo" value="${foo}" />
</filterset
begintoken="${"
endtoken="}">
<fileset dir="src">
<include name="*.txt*"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
</target>
This might not work because of your choice of symbols. You'll have to
play around a bit. Try doubling the "$" or "${" and "}"
which are the XML character codes for "${" and "}".
