How can I enclose a quote within a string?

[enoesque]

Hi,

I'm trying to perform a mysqldump to a network share.

An extract is shown here:

<exec program ="${mysqldump.exe}" commandline = "\\networkshare\top folder\file.txt" />

However the space in "top folder" is causing problems - it causes the long filename problem at the command prompt as well, so this doesn't work:

mysqldump [params] \\networkshare\top folder\file.txt

but this DOES:

mysqldump [params] "\\networkshare\top folder\file.txt"

My question is, how can I embed " characters in the exec command line?

Any help very much appreciated!

Try using <arg>  I believe these are always quoted.

<exec program="${mysqldump.exe}>
        <arg value="\\networkshare\top folder\file.txt" />
</exec>
HTH,
Bill

Thanks for your swift reply, William.

As it turns out, there are a number of arguments to mysqldump, and when I supply them as you mentioned, it ends up being
mysqldump "arg1" "arg2" "arg3",
which mysqldump doesn't like.

However, you've solved a couple of issues I had elsewhere, so I'm now using "arg value" for each argument, and this correctly wraps quotes where I need them.

In the end for this problem, I used sqldump with commandline to temporarily store the file locally.  Then I move it using a "move todir" task, which again, correctly quotes the specified dirs.

Thanks very much for your help.

Using arg LINE instead of value will avoid using the quotes

                <exec program="${installshield}">
                        <arg line="-p Installer.ism"/>
                        <arg line="-r Release"/>
