Java - ProcessBuilder command arguments with spaces and double-quotes fails

Question

I\'m using ProcessBuilder to run a Windows executable...the exact command I need to run is :

\"C:\\Program Files\\CCBU\\CCBU.exe\" -d\"C:\\My Data\\projects         


        

Answer 1

Add individual strings without "double" quotes..

                commands.add ( "C:\\Program Files\\CCBU\\CCBU.exe"                      );
                commands.add ( "-d");
                commands.add ("C:\\My Data\\projects\\ccbu\\ciccb-report.xls"        );
                commands.add ( "-tf");
                commands.add("C:\\Program Files\\CCBU\\loss-billing-filters.txt"   );
                commandExecutor = new SystemCommandExecutor(commands);

ProcessBuilder will take care of necessary handling of args.

Jayan, You're idea got me thinking : The following worked :

 commands.add ( "-dC:\\My Data\\projects\\ccbu\\ciccb-report.xls" );
 commands.add ( "-tfC:\\Program Files\\CCBU\\loss-billing-filters.txt"

); – lincolnadym
