Hi,
I think you need to experiment with redirectors[1] to see if you can
accomplish what you're trying to do. You're trying to use shell pipes,
which ANT doesn't know about. You need to explicitly send the output
of one <exec/> to another one. From my reading of the manual, I think
this should be possible.
Cheers,
James
