[jira] [Commented] (IVY-1393) Ant task exec arg value does not quote properly for MSWindows

["Vincent Belaïche (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1393?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13527580#comment-13527580 ] 

Vincent Belaïche commented on IVY-1393:
---------------------------------------

I could not find how to attach the piece of Java code providing proper double quote escaping for Windows, so I placed it on my page [here|http://vincentbelaiche.pagesperso-orange.fr/boite/MsDosQuoter.java].

Furthermore, in the issue creation form I did not filled the version entry because my ant version is 

{{Apache Ant version 1.8.0 compiled on February  2010}}

which I could not find in the proposed list of versions.

(?) I am wondering now whether I submitted the issue to the right project...

> I want to pass to some application the following string:\\
> {noformat}
> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" size="48x48" href="path/to/my/favion.png" />
> {noformat}
> So I use the following:\\
> {noformat} 
> <exec executable="some_executable.exe">
> <arg value="&lt;link rel=&quote;icon&quote; type=&quote;image/png&quote; size=&quote;48x48&quote; href=&quote;path/to/my/favion.png&quote; /&gt;"/>
> </exec>
> {noformat}
> However, the application gets this instead:\\
> {noformat}
> <link rel=icon type=image/png size=48x48 href=path/to/my/favion.png />
> {noformat}
> Double quotes were stripped by MSWindows because they were not properly escaped in the command line by Ant.
> I wrote a piece of code to do escaping of double quotes properly, and I will try to attach it to the issue later on if I can.
