Modify asp file

I'm using WIX toolset 3.5 to create msi package for installing web site. My web site is asp based and i have configuration in config.asp file. When installing I have dialog window for user to insert server name, database name, user name and password. Then I have to insert(replace) this values into config.asp file. I have several lines like: ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1; Password=xxx; User ID=user;Initial Catalog=....

What is the best way to do that? I have to parse file some way. Any example? All I have found were how to replace config file in .NET, which is xml based and has different approach.

Thanks

If config.asp files aren't true XML that can be processed using XPATH, you'll have to write custom actions to do the updates. FWIW, InstallShield has a "text replacements" feature that is similar to the Xml capabilities but uses search and replace on regular text.
