Re: [platform-ant-dev] External tool variable quoting
|
If you know how many artguments you want to have, you could always add
multiple prompt variables. If you want to execute:
/usr/bin/emacs file1 file2
such that it opens both files, you could set up the tool like so:
location: /usr/bin/emacs
arguments: ${string_prompt} ${string_prompt}
It doesn't solve the general problem, I know, but it might work for you this
afternoon. :)
I think the solution is to change the variable expander interface for the
getText() method to return an array of Strings.
