I have the following code:
builder = new ProcessBuilder("cmd");
builder.inheritIO();
p = builder.start();
p.waitFor();
And in the created commandline, I would like to write e.g. "dir". How is this possible?
Best regards
Edit: I have to run multiple commands and I can't use multiple cmds for that.
Can't you just use something like this:
ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder("cmd");
Process p = builder.start();
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(p.getOutputStream));
for(int i=0;i<7;i++) {
writer.write("dir");
writer.newLine();
writer.flush();
}
// Now terminate
writer.write("exit");
writer.newLine();
writer.flush();
p.waitFor();
To read the output, use p.getOutputStream() (and p.getErrorStream() if you want to -- also consider the ProcessBuilder.redirectErrorStream()).
CMD.exe on the Windows Command site says (in part),
Options
/C Run Command and then terminate
So, you should be able to use
cmd /C dir
But it's probably a better idea to prefer a pure Java solution using File.list().
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process process = runtime.exec(command);
