You are correct, it was a permissions problem on the cvs server. I thought it was related to the shell because when I tried to reproduce the problem, I copied the command to the shell.
Thanks for pointing out that the cvs command doesn't go through the shell, I wasn't aware of that. -----Original Message----- From: Dominique Devienne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 3:42 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: Escaping Characters On 1/26/06, Lemke, Wesley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How do I escape the special characters, before I send the cvs command > to the system? > value=":pserver:${cvs.user}:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:${cvs.code.repositor y.dir}" > > If someone's password is: th!s > I would like cvs.pass to be: th\!s Why would it be necessary? Does it not work for some of your users? One usually needs to escape characters so that the shell passes them unmolested to the app it's about to start to run the command. But when you use <exec>, or <cvs> which uses Execute underneath, you don't go thru a shell usually. Otherwise, check out Ant-Contrib on SourceForge, which has tools to manipulate property text. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
