RE: Running .bat file thru Java file

Posted by Kishori Sharan on January 01, 2001 at 8:32 PM

Construct the command string at run time as
String cmd = "abc.bat" ;

String p1, p2, p3 ;
// Populate p1, p2 and p3 at run time

// Construct the final command string
cmd = cmd + " " + p1 + " " + p2 + " " + p3 ;
Runtime.getRuntime().exec ( cmd ) ;

OR .........
You can also pass a string array which holds the command and arguments to exec ( ) methods as
String[] cmd = new String[4] ;
cmd[0] = "abc.bat" ;
cmd[1] = p1 ; // p1 will be populated at run time
cmd[2] = p2 ;
cmd[3] = p3 ;
Runtime.getRuntime().exec ( cmd ) ;
If you want to pass different no. of parameter then you will have to create different array cmd of different size...
Thanx
