Try:
for /F "eol=; delims=," %%f in ('cd') do (
set TARGET_DIR=%%~sf
)
(Taken from "for /?" on W2K, but whould work on NT if I remember correctly)
The ant.bat seems to accept spaces like for example "-Dproperty=Hello, ant"
if the line reading
if "%1"=="" goto doneArgs
is changed to
if X%1 EQU X goto doneArgs
in ant.bat. I can not verify if this will work on non-NT? Can someone else?
