Special Characters in the build.xml file

Hi,

I am trying to include the '"' in the build.xml in an exec command. The
parser gets deeply upset. Any ideas about how I can escape this
character.

<exec dir="${shared.bin}" output="../ldapmodify.txt"
    	command="${shared.bin}/ldapmodify -D\"${dirmanager}\" -w
${ldap.passwd} -a -f ${ldap.file}"/> 

\" didn't work.

Please reply to me as I am not on the list.

thanks
Steve

Does &quot; work? After all, it is XML.
