Ant: scan file and write property

In a file called foo.fxml in ${basedir} there is a section that reads

<!-- ANT SEARCH HERE 5 -->

where 5 may be any integer.

How can I get an ant property to hold the value of that integer, in this case, 5?

There's two steps to this. First, you need to read the file, which you can do with LoadFile. Then you can use a regular expression to get the number in the comment. Ant-Contrib has PropertyRegex which is good for this.
