How to open/execute files with unicoded fileName?

Hi all,

I'm trying to open a file with unicode in fileName (Cyrillic or Chinese characters) from Java(JDK 1.4.2) on Windows XP

I have tried encoding the url to UTF-8 etc... but nothing seems to work

final String browser ="cmd.exe";            
            final String FIRST_WINDOWS_PARAMETER = "/c";
            final String SECOND_WINDOWS_PARAMETER = "start";
            final String THIRD_WINDOWS_PARAMETER = "\"\""; // for titles with spaces to work
            
            String url = "ф.txt";
            //String encodedString = URLEncoder.encode(url,"UTF-8");
            //String newString = string.replaceAll("%2F","/");
             url = "C://"+url;
             
            
            Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { (String) browser,
                                            FIRST_WINDOWS_PARAMETER,
                                            SECOND_WINDOWS_PARAMETER,
                                            THIRD_WINDOWS_PARAMETER,
            try 
            {
                process.waitFor();
                process.exitValue();
            } 
            catch (InterruptedException ie) 
            {
                throw new IOException("InterruptedException while running the command: " + ie.getMessage());
            }

However I can open the file from command line with:

I can also open with iexplorer too

Any pointers?

TIA

Any tools available to debug Runtime.getRuntime().exec()?

Any Books with details on Runtime.getRuntime()?

Any resources on "cmd.exe /c" & java

The Java compiler wants Latin-1 input; i.e., your program isn't well-formed. The String with the non-Latin-1 character in it isn't going to be parsed right in the first place, so trying to convert in in the Java source is doomed to fail. Instead, use a Unicode escape character:

String url = "\ua7e6.txt";

Thanks Sheriff

I have tried with unicode escape characters also... no difference...

I guess Java Compiler expecting ISO-Latin1 characters is a major problem

I tried compiling

Do you guys think... that I need to do more along these lines?

When Runtime.exec() won't
