RE: Convert fileset into command-line args, allowing for spaces in directori

It just creates fileset of the files I need. It works :-)

I don't want one string. I want each file to be passed as a separate command 
line arg.
The application cannot be changed. It takes args in and each file should be 
a separate arg.

If I use <arg line="..."> I get the problems with spaces being used for 
separating the files and so Ant splits the files at incorrect places.

If I use <arg path="..."> it passes a single command line arg.

Lets give an example, if my FileSet has
/my/file/with a space/file1
/my/file/withoutaspace/file2

I want these both passed in as they are there as 2 separate commandline 
args.


Thanks for your response.

<apply> with its 'parallel' attribute might be what you want. It forks
a separate process though, so would work only if you are using <exec>
or <java fork="true">.

I managed to achieve this at last since I'm using a Jelly file and so can 
use a Jelly tokenizer to split the path apart and iterate through it. Still 
no idea how people are supposed to do this with Ant!

Thanks anyway
