How to execute cmd commands via Java

Question

I am trying to execute command line arguments via Java. For example:

// Execute command
String command = \"cmd /c start cmd.exe\";
Process child = Runtime.ge         


        

Answer 1

The code you posted starts three different processes each with it's own command. To open a command prompt and then run a command try the following (never tried it myself):

try {
    // Execute command
    String command = "cmd /c start cmd.exe";
    Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

    // Get output stream to write from it
    OutputStream out = child.getOutputStream();

    out.write("cd C:/ /r/n".getBytes());
    out.flush();
    out.write("dir /r/n".getBytes());
    out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
