That works if all you're interested in is the status code, but that doesn't sound like what the author of the basenote wanted. If he's searching the registry for some data, he's probably more interested in the actual contents of a registry entry, which is unlikely to be a simple integer such as the exit code.

The general answer to the question is to write the output to a file, using the output attribute of the exec task. Then use the loadfile task to read the file into a property.

But before doing that, first ask if the readregistry task solve the problem more easily? Or is the search more complicated than that?

Objet : [NAnt-users] Return from an <exec> call

How would one go about running a program and gathering
the return?  I'd like to do a search in the registry
and get the result into a property using regfind.

Thanks,
Eric
