Ant Problem with Saxon

I have tried to run Saxon from Ant in Eclipse and this is the only script that I can get to work halfway. I say halfway because I cannot get it to accept the -o output flag. If you remove that argument it runs fine but the only output is to the console, and that won't do me any good. Can I use the -o flag if I am calling a template? How else can I get Saxon to produce a file besides running a .bat file for this thing? It works fine with the > redirect at the cmd prompt. Thanks, Curtis <target name="transform2"> <java classname="net.sf.saxon.Transform" fork="true"> <arg line=" -it main"/> <arg value="${xsl}/HelpIndex.xsl"/> <arg line="input=../PublishedHelpFiles/cshdat_webhelp.htm"/> <arg line="-o output.xml" /> <classpath> <pathelement path="${saxon8.jar}"/> </classpath> </java> </target>

I'm not familiar with the Ant XSLT interface, but have you tried putting the -o argument before the stylesheet argument? That's where it would have to go on the command line. Michael Kay

Thanks Michael, it worked. Is there somewhere in the documentation where command line syntax is discussed? I looked for this rule for quite some time in the help files but could not locate it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered you. Curtis
