You probably need to use the XML escape sequence "&" Hope this helps Keith

Hi, I'm trying to use the exec task to issue a shell command, whose output to stderr and stdout I'd really like redirected to a file and the deleted, as it is not relevant and is corrupting my build report. So this is what I run on the command line: phpunit --log-xml somelog.xml MyCoolTest &>test.dump On the shell it works fine, but when put to ant exec task I get this error: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference. Can anyone please tell me how to get around this? I tried escaping the & with \, but that's not working either :o( Thanks in advance for any help.
