Runtime.exec on argument containing multiple spaces

Question

Can anyone make the following run?

public class ExecTest {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      //Notice the multiple spaces in the arg         


        

Answer 1

For your specific case of needing the reveal/select command, I get around the windows quote nightmare by using cmd /c start:

String[] cmd = {"cmd", "/c", "start explorer.exe /select," + path};

Where path is the absolute path from a File object.
