Pass Quotes to arg line
Hello,
I'm trying to pass quotes to the arg line for a parameter that has
spaces in it.
I've tried " but that didn't seem to work.
Also tried "" \".
Any suggestions?
<target name="call_tfsbuild" depends="process_proj">
<exec executable="${os.tfsbuild}" failonerror="true">
<arg line="start ${os.tfsmstr} ${cc.vob} ${cc.proj}
/msBuildArguments:/p:LabelComment=Label for Build at ${local.time.start}
" />
</exec>
</target>

Re: Pass Quotes to arg line
Posted by JimCant <jc...@head.cfa.harvard.edu>.
The ant manual, of all things, says the following:
It is highly recommended to avoid the line version when possible. Ant
will try to split the command
line in a way similar to what a (Unix) shell would do, but may
create something that is v
different from what you expect under some circumstances.
Examples
<arg value="-l -a"/>
is a single command-line argument containing a space character, not
separate commands "-l" and "-a".
<arg line="-l -a"/>
This is a command line with two separate arguments, "-l" and "-a".
Using a separate <arg value... for each argument makes the space issue to
away. See the 'exec' task and look for the link to command line arguements.

Thank you but that doesn't seem to work with the arg line command.

I´ve had the same problem some time ago, s. http://tinyurl.com/66tvbv

I have a solution for you that works :) Took me a little googling...but
this should do what you want... Please note, the Bash shell script
below is entitled myscript.sh and "lives" next to the build.xml:
<project default = "try">
<target name="try">
<exec executable="./myscript.sh" failonerror="true">
<arg line="start “this is a test”"/>
</exec>
</target>
</project>
#!/bin/bash
echo "Command line params = [$*]"
echo " "
echo "Each param:"
for aParam in $*
do
echo " [$aParam]"
done
Here is the link where I found the numerics I used above:
http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/quotes-in-html.html
I tried the " as well...to no avail... And yes \" didn't work
either...
However when I run the above Ant script in conjunction with the Bash
shell script, I get the following output:
Buildfile: build.xml
try:
[exec] Command line params = [start "this is a test"]
[exec]
[exec] Each param:
[exec] [start]
[exec] ["this]
[exec] [is]
[exec] [a]
[exec] [test"]
Hope that helps :)

So, assuming one does this, how would one put quotes in place around
params?

As another poster pointed out, the correct solution is to use multiple
"arg"s with "value" attributes, not trying to figure out how to get
through the various escaping layers with the "line" attribute.
