  <property file="test.properties"/>

  <target name="do_replace">
    <copy tofile="result_file.txt" file="template.txt"/>
    <replace file="result_file.txt" token="_Replace_This_" value="${foo}"/>
  </target>

In test.properties file i have
foo=bar

template.txt contains
Hello World by _Replace_This_

After execution target do_replace
result_file.txt contains
Hello World by bar
