http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8359 Exec task seems to disregard quotes and apostrophes in arg attribute values. ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-04-24 05:27 ------- What I meant when I said that I the find runs OK locally was that when I run the plink with the find command (it runs the find command on a remote box) it worked. So the command was actually only initiated on the local host, but it executed on the remote host. It was just to check that the find command's syntax was right. Sorry about the confusion. I also tried to run the find command locally on my WiNT box with the results I described in the prev. comment. And you were right, I was running the old DOS find. I have got Cygwin as well, so I tried to run it with good results. I cannot figure how this is different: <target name="plink"> <exec executable="plink.exe" dir="." failonerror="true"> <arg value="-ssh" /> <arg value="-pw" /> <arg value="password" /> <arg value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" /> <arg value="find" /> <arg value="." /> <arg value="-name" /> <arg value="\*" /> <arg value="-exec" /> <arg value="echo" /> <arg value="'{}'" /> <arg value="';'" /> </exec> </target> Works OK, see this: plink: [exec] Current OS is Windows NT [exec] plink.exe -ssh -pw password [EMAIL PROTECTED] find . -name \* -exec echo "'{}'" "';'" [exec] ./Desktop [exec] ./Desktop/kontrol-panel <cut> [exec] ./.cedit/cooledit.temp from: <target name="plink2"> <exec executable="plink.exe" dir="." failonerror="true"> <arg line="-ssh -pw password [EMAIL PROTECTED] "/> <arg line="find . -name \* -exec echo '{}' ';'" /> </exec> </target> Does not work, see this: plink2: [exec] Current OS is Windows NT [exec] plink.exe -ssh -pw password [EMAIL PROTECTED] find . -name \* -exec echo {} ; [exec] find: missing argument to `-exec' What happens when one uses <arg line=""/>? Is the contents passsed to the executable as a single parameter, or is it passed as it is with all the spaces? There must be some substiantial difference from <arg value=""/>.
