Keith, I checked this, but it might not be the case as ! is not followed by \ as specified in the link you have given below and it is not used in java prog, it is used in batch file which calls ANT script.
Could anybody pls tell me which escape characher could be used for ! in command below:(I've tried a lot like '/' or ! but couldn't find it) so that path is found java -classpath %CP% org.apache.tools.ant.Main -buildfile "C:\Program Files\Some!Path\AntMainDir" --- Keith Hatton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This could be because the ! character indicates a > resource within a JAR > file. > (see > http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/JarURLConnection.html) > > Hope this helps > Keith > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: madhuvanti joshi > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 10 July 2006 06:20 > To: Ant Users List > Subject: ANT script fails to run when path contains > '!' > > > Hi All, > > I have a batch file through which I am calling ANT > script.
