Executing perl script from java

Question

I`m trying to execute a perl script with parameters from my java code.

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("perl C:\\Users\\MIKE\\Desktop\\EvaluateCase\\ROUGE-1.5.5.pl -e data  -f A -a -x -s -m -2 -4 -u C:\\Users\\MIKE\\Desktop\\EvaluateCase\\CaseFromMike\\setting.xml");

The process exec failed and exit with value:255

The command works when I run in command prompt. please help.

It depends on your script, but just in case try Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("perl", "C:\Users\MIKE\Desktop\EvaluateCase\ROUGE-1.5.5.pl", "-e", "data", "-f", "A", "-a", "-x", "-s", "-m", "-2", "-4", "-u", "C:\Users\MIKE\Desktop\EvaluateCase\CaseFromMike\setting.xml"); — morgano

Is your double quoted string being interpolated? Maybe if you just change your command to use single quotes? Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec('perl C:\....blahblahblah'); — Miller

@Miller what are you talking about? This is Java code, and Java doesn't even have string interpolation. Strings are always delimited by double quotes, single quotes are used for character literals. — amon

@Demnogonis you could find Rouge.pl from research.microsoft.com/~cyl/download/ROUGE-1.5.5.tgz — little mike

The option -e of the script is also a path, use C:\\Users\\MIKE\\Desktop\\EvaluateCase\\data instead of just data:

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
        "perl C:\\Users\\MIKE\\Desktop\\EvaluateCase\\ROUGE-1.5.5.pl " +
        "-e C:\\Users\\MIKE\\Desktop\\EvaluateCase\\data " +
        "-f A -a -x -s -m -2 -4 " +
        "-u C:\\Users\\MIKE\\Desktop\\EvaluateCase\\CaseFromMike\\setting.xml");
