Calling Windows Exe from within Java prog

[Kevin Passey]

Hi can anybody help me here -

I have a command string that I'm building in Java to call a windows program.

Can anybody point me to some example code.

Thanks

Kevin

JNI is overkill for what he's asking. Use Runtime.exec() instead.

Thanks Guys,

I did it like this:-

String cmdOut = commandLine.toString();

Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmdOut );
