How can I do this in ant?

[Eric Youngquist]

I would like to place the string "util" in the file build.properties.

  <target name="build.property">
   <exec executable="/usr/bin/basename">
      <arg line="src/util > build.property"/>
   </exec>
  </target>

When I run, I get the following error:

build.property:
     [exec] Current OS is SunOS
     [exec] /usr/bin/basename src/util > build.property
     [exec] Usage:  basename [ path [ suffix-pattern ] ]
     [exec] Result: 1

But when I cut and paste the command to the command line, it works.

Ultimately I would like to do the following:

  <target name="build.property">
   <exec executable="/usr/bin/basename">
      <arg line="${mysys.PWD} > build.property"/>
   </exec>
  </target>

Thanks,
Eric
