Exception in System (Runtime) execute command for copying the file

[ranch ravi]

Can any one tell me what is wrong with this - it throws an IOException

String sourcepath = "C:"+File.separator+"pbx"+File.separator+"mantra"+File.separator+"vvvvv.mp3";
String destinationpath = "C:"+File.separator+"rrr"+File.separator+"mantra"+File.separator+"mantra.mp3";
Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
try{
String command="C:"+File.separator+"windows"+File.separator+"command /c copy "+sourcepath+" "+destinationpath;
System.out.println(command);
rt.exec(command);
}catch(IOException ex){System.out.println("exception "+ex); ex.printStackTrace();}

output:-
C:\windows\command /c copy C:\pbx\mantra\vvvvv.mp3 C:\rrr\mantra\mantra.mp3

instead of command, did you try with "cmd /c copy" ?
