https://github.com/apache/ant/pull/25
fix problems with argument handling of trailing space and sed/echo quirks
So this is where I have landed through trial and error on improving the
argument handling code.
Tested with:
mac bsd_sed+bash
ubuntu gnu_sed+dash
ubuntu gnu_sed+ksh93
ubuntu gnu_sed+zsh
We should ask mailing list to test on default Solaris, AIX, and HPUX
platforms.
If they experience problems due to sed versions, they can test out awk as
an esc_tool alternative value. If neither works consistently we can add some
bash/zsh/ksh93 detection to use a bashism when available to avoid sed and awk
when possible..
Attached is a manual test.sh and test.xml which echos some passed in
properties to demonstrate correct handling of special characters and
whitespace/newline scenarios.
