I normally avoid using <arg line> since some additional parsing is done
by Ant (or the sub-shell), and it may mess things up. Break up the
arguments like the following to see if things work:
<exec executable="cmd.exe"
resultproperty="retcode"
outputproperty="output">
<arg value="/c" />
<arg value="findstr" />
<arg value='/c:"@{value}"' />
<arg value="@{file}" />
</exec>
Note, not sure if the double-quotes are still required around @{value}
or not, you will have to test things out. Windows batch (cmd.exe)
syntax is ugly, especially when dealing with quotes.
