You may not put "find" in the <arg> part.
-----Original Message----- From: Elaine Fortin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 11:21 AM To: user@ant.apache.org Subject: Ant exec find -exec problem Importance: Low I am trying to create an Ant script to move files that are 10 days old to a backup directory. I cannot find how to do this purely in Ant, but I know that the Unix 'find' works. Ant returns the error: "[exec] /bin/find: incomplete statement" when I issue the following: <exec executable="find"> <arg line="find ./feeds -name myFilename* -mtime +10 -exec mv '{}' ./feeds_backup \; "/> </exec> This command works fine when issued from a Unix shell: find ./feeds -name myFilename* -mtime +10 -exec mv '{}' ./feeds_backup \; How can I make this work?
