replacing tokens in strings

[Jacopo Cappellato <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am trying to replace all occurrences of a given token in a file  
while copying it.
I am using the task:

<copy file="${build.dir}/version.txt" toFile="${dist.dir}/version.txt">
<filterset>
<filter token="DATE" value="${TODAY}"/>
</filterset>
</copy>

Everyting works fine if the token in the file are in the form of  
@DATE@ and are *separated* by other strings.
It doesn't work if the token is not separated by other strings, for  
example:
"@DATE@_suffix" is not replaced, while "today is @DATE@" it is.
Is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Jacopo

Please,

ignore my email... it actually works... it was another (not related)  
issue in my target.
