title: Running an exe from an ant build script problems
body: <p>I'm trying to run an executable from an ant build script and having no joy. The executable runs but hangs. Basically this program takes a file in and converts it to another format and splits it into parts a bit like zip utility. </p>
  
  <p>I call it from a command line with the call:-</p>
  
  <pre><code>BCC FILE.NAME -d FOLDER
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>whereby</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>BCC</code> is the call to the executable</li>
  <li><code>FILE.NAME</code> is the file to be converted</li>
  <li><code>-d</code> is parameter to put output files in specific location</li>
  <li><code>FOLDER</code> is the output folder for the files</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>So in the ant script I am using the exec executable command and passing FILE.NAME,-d and FOLDER as three separate arguments to no avail</p>
