Sorry, but this sounds a bit unusual. Can you detail what you are
trying to achieve at a higher level? And after that, provide maybe
examples of the command line you are trying to replicate with Ant, and
why it must be generated from a single property?

Sometimes by taking a step back and showing us the big picture, we see
