Thank you Bob - using <arg line="x y"/> achieved the desired result, including the use of properties.

Yes, if you have spaces in value then they are surrounded by quotes. Try using line instead of value. That should pass the argument as is.

Noob here.. I'm having trouble using exec to pass arguements to my svn client successfully, but I can't figure out how to see what nant is actually passing to the command line. verbose and debug aren't helping. in the build file I have <exec program="C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svn.exe"> <arg value="--non-interactive"/> <arg value="--username ${svn.user}"/> <arg value="--password ${svn.pass}"/> <arg value="update"/> </exec> But when I run that target, I the most output I can get is [exec] Starting 'C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svn.exe ( --non-interactive "--username skapinos" "--password asdfasf" update)' in 'D:\Projects\test\alpha' [exec] svn.exe: invalid option: --username skapinos [exec] Type 'svn help' for usage. The arguements are correct for the commmand itself, as I can do it manually, but I can't format my exec properly to have it execute. What am I missing? Is exec really passing the ( ) and " " in the command? How can I watch exactly what nant sends to the command line? how do I pass a simple command arg1 arg2 arg3 Without quotes around arg1, arg2, etc. Is the commandline option my only choice? can I continue to use property variables in a commandline string like I used above in arg?
