Better use only arg without line. Then you give each argument alone. The
syntax is:
<arg value="/c" />
<arg value="dir" />
<arg value="${SpaceVar}" />
But probably you need quotes, because this is read bei windows batch stuff.
By the way: I hate spaces in pathnames....

Betreff: Setting Property to a path containing Space
Hi,
I have a requirement to execute a program that uses a path as an argument.
The path argument is set using <property> task.
<property name="SpaceVar" value="C:/Program Files"/>
<target name="EchoVar">
<echo> SpaceVar = ${SpaceVar} </echo>
<exec dir="${basedir}" executable="cmd.exe" failonerror="true">
<arg line="/c dir ${SpaceVar}"/>
</exec>
</target>
After execution of the above snippet i am getting the below error:
E:\Scripts>ant -f SpaceVar.xml
Buildfile: SpaceVar.xml
EchoVar:
[echo] SpaceVar = C:/Program Files
[exec] Parameter format not correct - "Program".
BUILD FAILED
E:\Scripts\SpaceVar.xml:7: exec returned: 1
I am not sure of exactly setting the property SpaceVar to include double quotes.
Can anybody help me achieve successful execution for the above snippet?
Thanks for your effort.
Thanks
Rohit
