RE: like to know the syntax for using replacetoken, replacevalue & CD ATA 

Thanks for responding, Diane.  I wasn't clear enough on this one...  I mean,
if one DOES use the replacetoken/replacevalue tags in order to specify
what's to be replaced by what, what is the syntax for the use of THOSE tags?

I'm basically interested in getting a bunch of replacements done with a
single replace task, so I was interested in the examples that use
replacetoken/replacevalue as imbedded tags, but (as far as I've seen) the
manual only gives examples using
	"<![CDATA[...]]>"
inside the tags to specify the thing to be replaced...

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Nope. You can also do:

<replace file="foo.txt" token=":" value=";"/>

Well, you don't need the CDATA part, if that's what you mean -- you can
just do:
      <replacetoken>aples
ornges</replacetoken>
      <replacevalue>apples and oranges</replacevalue>

I guess I'm not sure what you're looking to do -- do you actually have
multi-line replaces you need to do?  If you just have a number of replaces
you need to do, you can just use the nested <replacefilter>, yes?
      <replacefilter
        token="aples"
        value="apples"/>
      <replacefilter
        token="ornges"
        value="oranges"/>
