Tried this .. <property name="DevBuild1" value="($DevBuild1)"/> <property name="DevBuild2" value="($(DevBuild2)))"/> <echo message="Starting CVS Difference Report (${DevBuild1} to${DevBuild2})"/>
Got this .. manualDiff: [echo] Starting CVS Difference Report (($DevBuild1) to ($(DevBuild2)))) -----Original Message----- From: Chaganthi, Madhusudan R.

Please help! We have an xml-rpc client calling a method on the server which executes the following bat file. Command line from "automated_Builds_Diffs.bat" cmd /c ant -buildfile D:\v04_E\Build_Scripts\CvsDiffReports\automated_cvsdiffs.xml manualDiff -D DevBuild1=$1 -D DevBuild2=$2 > D:\test2.txt ($1 and $2 are passed from the client and are tested to have the right value at run time) Ant script "automated_cvsdiffs.xml" receiving these parameters: <target name="manualDiff"> <!-- TO use manual diff, set the build names below. This targets DEV build only --> <property name="DevBuild1" value="$(DevBuild1)"/> <property name="DevBuild2" value="$(DevBuild2)"/> <echo message="Starting CVS Difference Report (${DevBuild1} to ${DevBuild2})"/> Output as in test2.txt : manualDiff: [echo] Starting CVS Difference Report ($(DevBuild1) to $(DevBuild2)) Script is failing here; the parameters are not getting populated. I have tried some combinations like changing the names etc., but of no use. This is some small syntax which I am probably not able to see here. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
