Do you mean in my exec, in this line <arg line="${basedir}
${perl.bin.dir}
${lbl.perl.target} ${client.only}"/>
Substitute ${client.only} by -Dclient.only=true.
The real command that I trying to run in the build.xml file is perl.exe
malkelabel.pl example.txt. Since example.txt could take any name, I
can't make it as a variable in any of my property file.

I think on the commandline, it should be -Dclient.only=true? (Rhino
pointed this out. . .)

Rhino,
Sorry for getting back with you late, but I did what you suggested and
the <arg line="${basedir} ${perl.bin.dir}
${lbl.perl.target}${client.only}"/>
And at the cmdline ant -Dclient=true -buildfile test.xml target
All get is: perl.exe maklelabel.pl "false"
What I am trying to resolve is: perl.exe malkelabel.pl example.txt where
example.txt is the none argument I am passing. Example.txt could be any
text file the user will type.
<property name="client.only" value="false"/>
<property name="drive" value="V:"/>
<target name="init" description="Create output directories if they don't
already exist">
<tstamp>
<format property="DATE" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy"/>
<format property="TIME" pattern="hh:mm aa z"/>
<format property="STAMP" pattern="yyMMddHHmmssZ"/>
</tstamp>
</target>
<target name="isoft36">
<echo>
Labeling...
</echo>
<exec executable="${ant.common.dir}/createProcess.exe">
<arg line="${basedir} ${perl.bin.dir}
${lbl.perl.target} ${client.only}"/>
</exec>
</target>

This is the technique; you should be able to adapt it to your needs very
easily.
Suppose we have a property named 'client.only' defined as follows:
<property name="client.only" value="false"/>
The default value of the property is 'false'. If you want to override
the
value of the property from the command line, do this on the command
line:
ant -Dclient.only=true
Note that there are no spaces and no quotes, apostrophes, or backtics
anywhere in the expression that overrides the value of the property.
Naturally, you can extend this concept to as many properties as you
want.
For example:
ant -Dclient.only=true -Duserid=me -Dpassword=mypass

Can someone tell me how to pass a stdin argument on a build file
And that argument be a value in arg line.
i.e >ant isoft.xml isoftlbl.txt
where isoftlbl.txt is the stdin that will be a value to my arg line.
<target name="isoftLabel">
<echo>
${perl.bin.dir} ${ivc.perl.target} ${drive} ${BUILD_VIEW}
${IVCOMMONVOB_VER} ${IVCOMMONVOB_BLD}
</echo>
<exec executable="${ant.common.dir}/createProcess.exe">
<arg line="${basedir} ${perl.bin.dir} makelabelpl
isoftlbl.txt "/>
</exec>
</target>
Thanks
