Note that I also tried:
<exec executable="sort" dir="."> <arg value="-u"/> <arg file="existingFile"/> <arg value=">"/> <arg file="newFile"/> </exec> Which produced: sort: stat failed: >: No such file or directory I'm using ant 1.7.1.

I can run the command line and it works fine, but ant can't run it to save its life: <exec executable="sort" dir="."> <arg value="-u"/> <arg value="existingFile"/> <arg value=">"/> <arg value="newFile"/> </exec> I've tried putting all the args together, putting some of the args together... If I run it like this, I get "sort: stat failed: >: No such file or directory. If I put the "existingFile > newFile" in the same arg, I get "sort: stat failed existingFile > newFile: No such file or directory. If I make the executable "bash" and use "sort" as the first argument, I get: [exec] /bin/sort: /bin/sort: cannot execute binary file. If I run it as bash and put all the arguments into a single arg value, I get: [exec] bash: sort -u existingFile > newFile: No such file or directory. This has got to be simple, please help!
