Re: Edit a file in place using replacetokens

 I seem to recall the same issue. What I ended up doing was a copy, then delete the old file then "move" to the original file name.

Subject: [NAnt-users] Edit a file in place using replacetokens

Hi,

I have a token, @PARTNUMBER@ defined in a file, and I would like to replace it during the build process.  However I'd prefer to edit the file in place rather than copy or move to a different file.  I've tried both copy and move with the overwrite=true option, but both ignore the self-copy or self-move.

This is what I currently have in my target:
    <move tofile="..\install\${installer.base.name}.aip" file="..\install\${installer.base.name}.aip" overwrite="true" >
      <filterchain>
        <replacetokens>
          <token key="PARTNUMBER" value="${partNumber}" />
        </replacetokens>
      </filterchain>
    </move>

If I change the name of the tofile attribute to something other than the source filename, then it works fine.  However I would rather just edit the file in place.  Is this possible?

I am using NAnt 0.86 (Build 0.86.3412.0; nightly; 5/5/2009)

Thanks,
Beth
