the functionality you search for is encapsulated by the "textfile" Tool, especially the Substfile() Builder. Please have a look at 
the UserGuide's appendix B (or use 'man scons') where all the different available builder methods are described, and also some 
examples are given.

If you encounter further problems, feel free to continue asking questions...but please post them to the user mailing list 
"scons-users at scons.org". This developer ML is intended to discuss core issues, and the number of ears you can reach here is very 
small. ;)

Best regards,

Dirk
