Try using <arg> I believe these are always quoted.
<exec program="${mysqldump.exe}>
<arg value="\\networkshare\top folder\file.txt" />
</exec>

Subject: [NAnt-users] How can I enclose a quote within a string?
Hi,
I'm trying to perform a mysqldump to a network share.
An extract is shown here:
<exec program ="${mysqldump.exe}" commandline = "\\networkshare\top
folder\file.txt" />
However the space in "top folder" is causing problems - it causes the long
filename problem at the command prompt as well, so this doesn't work:
mysqldump [params] \\networkshare\top folder\file.txt
but this DOES:
mysqldump [params] "\\networkshare\top folder\file.txt"
My question is, how can I embed " characters in the exec command line?
Any help very much appreciated!
