Invoking exe files in java

Posted by Sridhar on December 21, 2000 at 10:11 AM

Hi Harish

here is how to run exe files from java programs.

import java.io.IOException;
public class WorkingWithExeFiles
{
public static void main(String argv[])
{
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
try
{
rt.exec("C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\winword");
} catch(IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace();}
}
}

Try this link for further help. http://www.esus.com/javaindex/j2se/execotherjava.html
