To run batch files you need to specify the dos shell for the executable attribute and specify the batch file as an argument. Something like the following.
<exec executable="cmd.exe"> <arg value="/C"/> <arg value="Sign.cmd"/> </exec> Although, I prefer to re-implement batch files as a macrodefs and use pure ant tasks as much as possible. If your executables are available on other platforms, then this makes your build cross-platform. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 11:13 PM To: user@ant.apache.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: usage of exec Hi All, I want to use one of my batch file into my build.xml file, the batch file is as follows: //--------------------------------- Sign.cmd -------- Set NEB_MD5=d:\sign Set NEB_SIGN=d:\sign Set NEB_IMAGE=D:\cdimages\MD1020\MCClient\KAL-Std55-81 Set NEB_IMAGE1=D:\cdimages\MD1020\MCClient\KAL-Std8-5 set DOSUNIX=D:\Uddu d: cd \ REM *** Generate Sign File **** cd %NEB_IMAGE%\ %NEB_SIGN%\signdirectory %NEB_MD5% %NEB_IMAGE%\Client1 %NEB_IMAGE%\Client1 %NEB_SIGN%\signdirectory %NEB_MD5% %NEB_IMAGE%\Client2 %NEB_IMAGE%\Client2 %NEB_SIGN%\signdirectory %NEB_MD5% %NEB_IMAGE%\Client3 %NEB_IMAGE%\Client3 cd %NEB_IMAGE1%\ %NEB_SIGN%\signdirectory %NEB_MD5% %NEB_IMAGE1%\Client1 %NEB_IMAGE1%\Client1 %NEB_SIGN%\signdirectory %NEB_MD5% %NEB_IMAGE1%\Client2 %NEB_IMAGE1%\Client2 //----------------------------------------- The D:\sign folder contains two exe files signdirectory.exe and md5.exe, these two exe files are being used for generating sign files.
