You can use the outputproperty parameter of ant's exec task.

I am new to maven and I am sorry if this sounds stupid. I am trying to assign 
the output of a command to a variable.
The command is triple=`./config.guess`.

I tried the following with no luck <goal name="mine" description="test">

    <exec dir="src"
          executable="env"
          failonerror="true">
     <arg line="triple=`./config.guess`"/>
    </exec>
  </goal>


Can someone tell how to do this?
Thanks
