Take a look at the <concat> task. Never used it, but it sounds like
exactly what you want:
<concat destfile="${file.b}"
append="yes"
fixlastline="yes">
<filelist dir="${file.a.dir}" files="${file.a}"/>
</concat>

Got it. i was on the right track with concat. just needed to add the
loadfile to get my data, put that into a propery and then use the
value of that property to build my new file!
whew talk about going around your arse to get to your elbow!
<loadfile srcFile="DB/MS SQL
${db.server.version}/boomsocket_MSSQL_${db.server.version}.sql"
property="sql.text" />
<concat encoding="UTF-8" destfile="DB/MS SQL
${db.server.version}/boomsocket_MSSQL_${db.server.version}_temp.sql"><![CDATA[${sql.text}]]></concat>
Thanks all!

Here's what i have now inside a target:
<touch file="DB/MS SQL
${db.server.version}/boomsocket_MSSQL_${db.server.version}_temp.sql"/>
<concat destfile="DB/MS SQL
${db.server.version}/boomsocket_MSSQL_${db.server.version}_temp.sql">
<fileset file="DB/MS SQL
${db.server.version}/boomsocket_MSSQL_${db.server.version}.sql" />
</concat>
<delete file="DB/MS SQL
${db.server.version}/boomsocket_MSSQL_${db.server.version}.sql" />
<move file="DB/MS SQL
${db.server.version}/boomsocket_MSSQL_${db.server.version}_temp.sql"
tofile="DB/MS SQL
${db.server.version}/boomsocket_MSSQL_${db.server.version}.sql" />
<replaceregexp file="DB/MS SQL
${db.server.version}/boomsocket_MSSQL_${db.server.version}.sql"
match="\[[a-zA-Z0-1]{1,}\]"
replace="[${db.name}]"
flags="i" />
The problem is that the concat not only concat's the data but also the
"headers" of the file thereby corrupting my new file as well.
So essentially what i need is some way to read the contents of a file
and then take those contents and input them into another file.
i'm on Windows XP if i need to toss this off to some command line stuff.

Are you simply trying to copy file A to file B? Or take the contents of
A and append to B?
