Either use "cmd /c dir" as the command [after breaking the string into 3
tokens] or other ANT ways of looking up/matching directory contents.

Subject: Can't get <exec> to work
Hi all,
I was just messing around with <exec>, with an eye towards using Ant to
take over building some C projects. Here's my simple build file:
<project name="DirAnt" default="init">
<target name="init">
<exec executable="dir"/>
</target>
</project>
The error I get when I try and run it is below. I've using Windows 2000,
and Sun's JDK 1.3.1.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris
