Hey Jim
Do either of the last two solutions work for the 11 May build?
/bill
<property name="space" value="c:/Program Files/" />
<property file="myfile.txt" />
<target name="show" >
<echo message="arg1 + ${arg1} " />
<echo message="space + ${space}" />
<echo message="file1 + ${file1}" />
</target>
C:\>cat myfile.txt
file1=i exist
C:\>ant -Darg1="boo hoo" show
Buildfile: build.xml
show:
[echo] arg1 + boo hoo
[echo] space + c:/Program Files/
[echo] file1 + i exist
BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Subject: A String property value
I am looking for any way to add a string with spaces
to a property. The only solution that I can think of
at this moment is to write an ant task that does some
wierd conversion. This, obviously, is not what I want
to tell my client.
To refresh... Ant 1.3 (March 2, 2001) will allow
spaces if you quote them.
ex. -Dlastdate="August 24, 2001"
Ant 1.3 (May 11, 2001) which happens to be included
with Weblogic 6.1 will not work (with or without
quotes).
Has anyone been able to input spaces, somehow???
