RE: Ant exec find -exec problem

Of course, that's a paste error. It should have read:
        <exec executable="find">
<arg line="./feeds -name myFilename* -mtime +10 -exec mv
'{}' ./feeds_backup \; "/>
        </exec>

You may not put "find" in the <arg> part.

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?

Thanks,
Elaine
