I want to execute a program from a java program. Is it possible ? If it is possible, how can i do ? It would be cool if you can give me an example. The program i want to call is an .exe . The program is : code.exe the call is : code.exe "string to code" and it returns to stdout a string. So i want to call this program with a string and i want to get the result in a string. May be it is very simple but i don't know how to do. Your help is welcome. You can answer me at : stephane.champoussin@free.fr Thanks. Stéphane... More>>

It is very simple to do this.
Create an opject of type Process.Get an Object of type Runtime.You can do this with the following code
Process p ;
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
p = r.exec(" Full Path of your Dos Application");
Now you can send input to the Dos program by sending a stream to p through getInputStream() and receiving the output through getOutPutStream(). It will be a good idea to have BuffereReader and BufferedWriter do the reading and writing part.
