recursive search and replace

Hi
Is there a task to perform recursive search and replace text in files. I would like to use this to change the version number in Assembly info files.
Thanks

Unfortunately MSBuild team does not ship such a task. However you can find some tasks written by the msbuild community at

http://weblogs.asp.net/pwelter34/archive/2006/03/31/441613.aspx which may be able to do that (FileUpdate task)

Thanks,
