yeah, this is an option, but i need it all in a script because i need to do non-ant things and i find it easier to do non-ant things in bash rather than with the <exec> task. anyway, i did find the solution, which is to escape newlines in the command output:
VAR=`cmd | sed 's/$/\\/g'` (though this actually replaces the last character of the line, it doesn't match \n, but it works)
thanks for the quick reply though.
