Run external application without using a batch file

[Vijay Vaddem]

Hi,

I would like to get the output of running an external application
in my java program (using files or streams..)

Currently im creating a batch file and executind that batch file
from my java class.

Though it is working fine, i want to know if this is possible to
do the same without using a batch file.

I'm running the "osql" application of Microsoft SQL Server.

  public class RuntimeExecute
{
    public static void main (String [] Argv)
    {
        try
        {
            String  server;
 
            Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime ().exec ("C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\80\\Tools\\Binn\\osql /L");
            DataInputStream dInputStream = new DataInputStream(proc.getInputStream ());
            try
            {
                while ((server = dInputStream.readLine ()) != null)
                {
                    System.out.println (server);
                }
            }
            catch (IOException e)
            {
            }
        }
        catch (IOException e1)
        {
        }
    }
