Thanks!
Actually, using "ExecOn" versus "Exec" cured my wildcard expansion problem.

However, I dumped the whole thing (awk/sed/et al) for the "REPLACE" task.

...like I tell everybody, Ant is the GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!!!

Larry,

Wildcard expansion under Unix is performed by the shell. It is not performed
by Ant so you are passing *.html straight to awk. You should probably change
the executable to /bin/sh and pass the awk command as an argument.
