In order to fix this, I had to write a macrodef that strips the last
character (no matter what it is being that you can't test for it):
<macrodef name="stripLastChar" description="Drops the last char off of
property value">
<attribute name="my.property.name"/>
<sequential>
<length string="$...@{my.property.name}}" property="length.prop" />
<math result="length.prop" operand1="${length.prop}" operation="-"
operand2="1" datatype="int"/>
<propertyregex property="@{my.property.name}" override="true"
input="$...@{my.property.name}}" regexp="^.*{${length.prop},${length.prop}}"
select="\0"/>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
I would consider the behavior of sshexec a bug. Anyone else...

I tried:
<propertyregex property="my.property"
override="true"
input="${my.property}"
regexp="\r" replace=""
/>
<propertyregex property="my.property"
override="true"
input="${my.property}"
regexp="\n" replace=""
/>
But it doesn't seem to work on newline/cr stuff... This is nuts, is what I'm
trying to do really all that tough?

So sshexec is adding a carriage return to the outputproperty when run from
winders. Is there a way to strip this off of the end of a property in ant?
Here's a small repro:
test.sh:
<!--Begin Code Snip-->
echo "error" | tr '\n' '' | tr '\r' ''
exit 0
<!--End Code Snip-->
testSshExec.xml
<!--Begin Code Snip-->
<project default="main">
<task name="main">
<sshexec host="${ssh.host}"
username="${ssh.user}"
keyfile="${ssh.keyfile}"
passphrase="${ssh.passphrase}"
command="/home/myUser/test.sh"
trust="true"
timeout="1000"
outputproperty="returnValue"
/>
</task>
<echo message="XXX${returnValue}XXX"/>
</project>
<!--End Code Snip-->
Run from winders machine, return is:
main:
[sshexec] Connecting to myUnixBox:22
[sshexec] error
[echo] XXXerror
[echo] XXX
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 3 seconds
Thanks,
Eric
