using * in arg of exec task

[Martin M <ma...@qfs.de>]

Hi all,

I would like to call a helper script in my ant-task, but somehow I dont't
get it running.

I would like to call
"myCript /path/to/classes/Class*.class
/path/to/otherClasses/ClassImpl*.class"

I have defined this exec task:

<exec executable="myCrypt" dir=".">
<arg line="path/to/classes/Class*.class
/path/to/otherClasses/ClassImpl*.class"/>
</exec>

Running the task, ant is complaining that the classes don't exist. 
I also tried to escape the '*' by \, $, and *, but nothing worked.

How do I define such a task in ant?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Martin

Hello Jan,

thank you for your response.

As I don't want to use so many filesets, I changed my task to make the shell
as executable and call the command as argument. This approach also works for
me.

So my task looks like this:
<exec executable="sh">
<arg line="-c myCrypt path/to/classes/Class*.class
/path/to/otherClasses/ClassImpl*.class"/>
</exec>

As you've already mentioned the command above is working due to the *
resolution.

Regards,
Martin
