For this specific task, we use a combination of a custom regex
function, and the loadfile, property and echo tasks.

The script:
    <script language="C#" prefix="regex">
        <code>
            <imports>
                <import namespace="System.Text.RegularExpressions"/>
            </imports>

            <![CDATA[
                [Function("replace")]
                public static   string RegexReplace(string pSource,
string pSearch, string pReplace)
                {
                    RegexOptions options = RegexOptions.IgnoreCase |
RegexOptions.Multiline;

                    Regex   re = new Regex(pSearch, options);
                    return re.Replace(pSource, pReplace);
                }
            ]]>
        </code>
    </script>


The nant target:

    <target name="vb6versioning"
	    description="Set version information in VB6	applications."
	    failonerror="true" >

	<loadfile file="${projectFileName}" property="project.file" />

	<property name="ex"			value="MajorVer *= *[0-9]*[\r\n]*$" />
	<property name="newvalue"	value="MajorVer=${buildnumber.major}" />
	<property name="project.file"	value="${regex::replace(project.file,
ex, newvalue)}" />

	<property name="ex"			value="MinorVer *= *[0-9]*[\r\n]*$" />
	<property name="newvalue"	value="MinorVer=${buildnumber.minor}" />
	<property name="project.file"	value="${regex::replace(project.file,
ex, newvalue)}" />

	<property name="ex"			value="RevisionVer *= *[0-9]*[\r\n]*$" />
	<property name="newvalue"	value="RevisionVer=${buildnumber.build}" />
	<property name="project.file"	value="${regex::replace(project.file,
ex, newvalue)}" />

	<property name="ex"			value="AutoIncrementVer *= *[0-9]*[\r\n]*$" />
	<property name="newvalue"	value="AutoIncrementVer=0" />
	<property name="project.file"	value="${regex::replace(project.file,
ex, newvalue)}" />

	<echo message="${project.file}" file="${projectFileName}" />

    </target>


A bit brute force, but, it works for us.
