Actually, unlike straight java you can just use backslashes as you would in windows. While I would probably agree with you and say "ignore the fact that Windows embraces this poor practice" and just use traditional forward-slash. Either works, but here's one example showing how to extract a sample archive 'sample.tar.gz' from UNC:
<target name="null"> <gunzip src="\\myserver1\myshare\sample.tar.gz'" dest="sample"/> <untar src="sample" dest="." /> </target> Hope this helps, Raymond -----Original Message----- From: Stéphane Vandenbogaerde [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2008 6:48 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: Setting an absolute path to an other PC 2008/7/1 Raymond Berg (ALLETE) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > This question is a little unclear.
