Ant script passing arguments to Batch file -


i have ant script need call batch script follows:

<exec dir="${basedir}\work_internal\${platform}" executable="cmd.exe">           <arg line ="/c example.bat 'c:\work_internal\${platform}' 'revn=120 special_objs='a b''" /> 

i need pass arguments example.bat, first argument directory , second argument 'revn=120 special_objs='a b'', special_objs='a b' 'a b' must in quotes. when calls bat script, discards quotes around 'a b' in second argument interpreted revn=120 special_objs= b.

how can make read revn=120 special_objs="a b"?

the single quotes don't pair how want them to, aught able embed single quotes using &quot; entity - like:

<arg line=" ... &quot;revn=120 special_objs='a b'&quot;" /> 

for me ant -verbose above gives below:

 [exec] executing 'cmd.exe' arguments:  [exec] '/c'  [exec] 'example.bat'  [exec] 'c:\work_internal\${platform}'  [exec] 'revn=120 special_objs='a z'' 

in posted xml quote pairs (v--v) here:

<arg line="/c example.bat      v----------------------------v v----------------------v   vv      'c:\work_internal\${platform}' 'revn=120 special_objs='a b''" /> 

which doesn't intend, , line broken incorrectly.

another way pass arguments batch script using separate arg value= elements:

<exec dir="." executable="cmd.exe">     <arg value="/c" />     <arg value="example.bat" />     <arg value="c:\work_internal\${platform}" />     <arg value="revn=120 special_objs='a b'" /> </exec> 

rather passing single line shell. sidesteps (shell) tokenization logic breaking line differently how wish.
