no comment New Page: == This is the AntNewbies page where newbies that can ask difficult but clear questions. == ""Q)"" How do you escape a " in an argument to an Exec command. This is what I have. <code> <target name="RSM" depends="init"> <property name="preflag" value="-wc -w"/> <property name="filedat" value=""/> <property name="datfile" value="'File dat c:\rsm\MyProject_${tstamp}.dat'"/> <property name="flags" value="-r h,cpp,java"/> <property name="project" value="c:\rsm\MyProject_v1.0_rsm\DevSCM"/> <property name="string" value="${preflag}${datfile} ${flags} ${project}"/> <echo message="${string}"/> <exec dir="c:\rsm\rsm" executable="rsm.exe" output="dir.txt"> <arg line="${string}"/> </exec> </code> This is what I'm trying to duplicate on the command line with Ant. <code> rsm -wc -w "File dat c:\rsm\MyProject_${tstamp}.dat" -r h,cpp,java c:\rsm\MyProject_v1.0_rsm\MyProject </code> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
