 ->from(date('Y')-1)
 ->to(date('Y'))
 ->run();

$this->taskReplaceInFile('config.yml')
 ->regex('~^service:~')
 ->to('services:')
 ->run();

$this->taskReplaceInFile('box/robo.txt')

## TmpFile


Create a temporary file that is automatically cleaned up
once the task collection is is part of completes. When created,
it is given a random filename.

This temporary file may be manipulated exacatly like taskWrite().
It is deleted as soon as the collection it is a part of completes
or rolls back.

``` php
<?php
$collection = $this->collectionBuilder();
$tmpFilePath = $collection->taskTmpFile()
     ->line('-----')
     ->line(date('Y-m-d').' '.$title)
     ->line('----')
     ->getPath();
$collection->run();
?>
```

* `complete()`  Delete this file when our collection completes.
* `filename($filename)`   * `param string` $filename
* `append($append = null)`   * `param bool` $append
* `line($line)`  add a line.

* `appendUnlessMatches($pattern, $text)`  Append the provided text to the end of the buffer unless the provided
* `originalContents()`  @return string
* `wouldChange()`  @return bool
