Hi Frank (from one Frank to another!),
I don't see any way to do that directly from Ant, but maybe someone else
does. Assuming there is no easy answer, here's one round-about way to
pull it off...
Ant script:
<project name="test" default="showdir">
<target name="showdir">
<exec executable="cmd.exe">
<arg line="/c test.vbs" />
</exec>
</target>
</project>
And test.vbs is:
dirToList = "c:\"
Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WSCript.shell")
wshshell.run "cmd.exe /k dir " & dirToList, 1, false
Set wshshell = nothing
Change dirToList as appropriate, or passing it in as a command line
argument would probably be even better (and I'd bet more appropriate
since I'm guessing you want to determine what directory to list from the
Ant script?) and you should be all set.

Hi,
i´d like to automate some tasks under Win 2000 Server. A dos box should
open and a batch file should be executed therwith the user can read the
batchfiles output.
There are tons of examples like this:
<exec executable="cmd">
<arg line="/c test.bat" />
</exec>
i´ve tried several mutations of these examples, but none of them opened
the expectet cmd-box for me.
In fact, tis topic should be FAQ, but i searched the arcives until 2000
without finding a suitable answer.
Is it possible to open a cmd-box in Win2K Server ? Do you know any
relatet threads, articles, sites etc which deal with this problem ?
