First, let me apologize for the lengthy code. I was trying to put in as
much information as possible.
I'm actually trying to run this on a UNIX server. I'm new to the UNIX
environment, so correct me if I am wrong, but if I use the bash command,
will I not have to create and execute some sort of shell script? If this
is the case, I'm not sure if this will work for me. All I am trying to do
is execute a the cvs status command. Below is what I am trying to
accomplish if I was doing this from the command line:
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:cvs/build/logs status
opt/usr/bin/testfile.xml
This will return the following info:
===================================================================
File: Demo.xml Status: Up-to-date
Working revision: 1.8
Repository revision: 1.8
/cvs/1LCW-LiveCycle_Workflow/1LCW_Pilot/Customer/Demo/Demo/Demo.xml,v
Sticky Tag: c0467215_1LCW_Demo_07-22-08_1300_ReadyITE
(revision: 1.8)
Sticky Date: (none)
Sticky Options: (none)
All I am trying to get is the Working revision line and place it into a
property. The following line:
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:cvs/build/logs status
opt/usr/bin/testfile.xml | grep 'Working'
returns this:
Working revision: 1.8
I'm trying to take the line above and place it into a property so I can
later parse it to find the latest revision number. Hopefully, this helps
and clarifies what I am doing.
Thanks,

Re: Error returned using <exec> task
The code pieces You pasted are quite lenghty, and most of my experience
comes from unix boxes, but I guess there might be a similarity.
<exec executable="cvs" failonerror="true"
outputproperty="build.xml.
>
> version.line">
> <arg line="-d${common.setup.cvsRoot} status
> ${app.lar.source.clientpath/${prop.cust.xml.basename}.xml | grep
> 'Working'"/>
This has no right to do whatever it is You want it to - at least on linux
it
wouldn't. There's an explanation on the ant website somewhere, so I won't
repeat all of it. In brief - if You want to pipe output to another
program,
You'd have to exec not the command You want, but the command environment.
So
in my case this usually was something like:
<exec executable="bash"><arg line="-c 'do_stuff |
do_some_more_stuff'"/></exec>
Otherwise the redirection of output/error streams doesn't work. At least
that's on linux, but I imagine it will be the same on windows. Besides
this,
I don't see why You might not be getting what You want. Hope I helped a
little.
Cheers,
Chris
