Replace toekn with file contents

Use <loadfile> to load the second file into a property (possibly modifying
it along the way using a <filterchains>), then use that property in the
replace operation.

Turns out I did something similar just this morning ;-)

   <loadfile property="license" srcFile="${ant.home}/LICENSE" />

   <replaceregexp byline="true">
     <regexp pattern="^// vim.*$" />
     <substitution expression="${license}" />
     <fileset dir="build/subant/src" includes="**/*.java" />
   </replaceregexp>

--DD

Subject: Replace toekn with file contents

Is there any way to get ANT to replace a token in a file with the entire
contents of another file?

I'm trying to make my struts-config.xml a little more manageable...

Thanks!
