Call exe file with parameters in JAVA

[Joshua Cloch]

Hello everyone!

In a DOS-based console,if I want to encypt a file "m",I just use an exe file named "crypt" followed by the file name which is going to be encrypt.The command is: crypt m.Then press Enter,that is all.

How can I do this in java? I know how to call an exe file in java,but how can I pass a parameters like file name to the exe file?

Thanks very much!

You say you already know how to call an exe in Java. That's with the Runtime.exec() method, right?

There are several overloaded versions of this method - there's one where you just supply the name of the exe, but there are also versions where you can supply parameters.

Look it up in the API documentation.

Thanks very much!
The solution is very simple:
sample:

String[] commands={"c:\\crypt.exe","c:\\counted.lic"};
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);
