Calling external process in Java

Hi,

How I can call some system command from Java? I want to run the Microsoft Calculator application from Java, how it can be done. Provide me example.

What is the use of Runtime.getRuntime().exec(?.) command.

Thanks

In a very general way:

try {

     String[] cmds = {path+"/*.exe"};
     Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmds);
} catch (Exception e) {

     e.printStackTrace();
}

for your question:

try {

     Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("calc.exe");
} catch (Exception e) {

     e.printStackTrace();
}
