*This works fine:* <target name="integrity_check"> <exec executable="/usr/bin/find" outputproperty="num_files_vss_fetched"> <arg line="${cvs_output_dir} -type f"/> </exec> <echo message = "${num_files_vss_fetched}"/> </target>
*Add a pipe to wc -l and it falls over with error as below:* <target name="integrity_check"> <exec executable="/usr/bin/find" outputproperty="num_files_vss_fetched"> <arg line="${cvs_output_dir} -type f | wc -l"/> </exec> <echo message = "${num_files_vss_fetched}"/> </target> *Error* [echo] /usr/bin/find: paths must precede expression [echo] Usage: /usr/bin/find [path...] [expression] Any ideas?
