The code pieces You pasted are quite lenghty, and most of my experience
comes from unix boxes, but I guess there might be a similarity.
<exec executable="cvs" failonerror="true"
outputproperty="build.xml.
>
> version.line">
> <arg line="-d${common.setup.cvsRoot} status
> ${app.lar.source.clientpath/${prop.cust.xml.basename}.xml | grep
> 'Working'"/>
This has no right to do whatever it is You want it to - at least on linux it
wouldn't. There's an explanation on the ant website somewhere, so I won't
repeat all of it. In brief - if You want to pipe output to another program,
You'd have to exec not the command You want, but the command environment. So
in my case this usually was something like:
<exec executable="bash"><arg line="-c 'do_stuff |
do_some_more_stuff'"/></exec>
Otherwise the redirection of output/error streams doesn't work. At least
that's on linux, but I imagine it will be the same on windows. Besides this,
I don't see why You might not be getting what You want. Hope I helped a
little.
Cheers,
Chris
