windows command

["Sayed, Irfan (Irfan)" <is...@avaya.com>]

Hi All,
 
I need to execute windows system command in Ant's build.xml. I got one
sample in manual but need to know what is the exact meaning of every
line with every attribute.
 
<exec dir="${src}" executable="cmd.exe" os="Windows 2000"
output="dir.txt">
  <arg line="/c dir"/>
  </exec>
 
Can somebody please help 
 
Regards
Irfan.

You can use the windows system command in the following way.

    <target name="execute.sys.command">
  	   <exec dir="${basedir}" executable="xcopy.exe">
      	   <arg line="c:\temp" />
	         <arg line="d:\temp" />
      	   <arg line=" /S /Z /Y /I" />
	    </exec> 
    </target>
  
 example note :
   In the above target I have used xcopy.exe Windows program to copy
file from c:\temp to d:\temp. You can pass arguments to command using
<arg line>
   You can adapt this (command arguments etc.) as per your needs.

Hope this helps.
