Run a command line statement from an ant task.

I have a very simple task, but I just can't seem to figure out how to
do it. I want to export an Oracle database using ant. The statement
is:

exp <username>/<password>@SID file=<dump name>.dmp

How would I do this in an ant task?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Nevermind, I have alredy found the solution...

<exec executable="command">
<arg value="">
</exec>

Hi hust6,

I think you are able in ant to execute statements in jdbc. Take a look
at the ant side from apache and there you will find under the core task
how it will be possible.

But the OP wants to run Oracle's EXP command line utility which is not
available through JDBC.
