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
