Running shell script from java code and pass arguments

Question

I am executing a shell script from Java program. I have implemented it using Runtime class. Below is the code I implemented

final StringBuilder sb = new Stri         


        

Answer 1

To recreate the command you run in shell manually, test.sh "/path to/my/text file", you will need to include the quotes.

final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("test.sh");
sb.append(" \"/path to/my/text file\""); //notice escaped quotes
final Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(sb.toString());
