Changing directory at command prompt

when I try to change the directory to java at command prompt line it says invalid file name. I have check the path and it is fine. What is the problem?

What operating system?
If Windows, and the path contains any spaces, enclose the path within double quotes. eg.
c:\> cd "C:\Program Files\Java\1.4.0"

Changing Color of Command Prompt

Does anyone know how to change the color of the command prompt using java coding? I am using cmd as my UI.
thanks alot..

Look for JCurses, I think it might be able to do that. Otherwise, there is nothing in Java that lets you do it. The coloring of the console is platform specific.

When you open a Command Prompt window (CMD.EXE), it defaults
to your user profile home directory. If you wish to change the
default startup directory for Command Prompt, use the steps listed
in this article at
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/autoruncmd.htm

Setting the command prompt...

Can anyone tell me what I would use to set the command prompt?
On HP-UX, I would reset the PS1 variable...
i.e. PS1="
\$ID @ \$HOST | \$PWD
--> "
On Linux, I would reset it as follows:
i.e. PS1="
\u @ \h | \W
--> "
Neither of these seems to work here...
I tried the following, and it give me the correct visual layout, but the values don't change when you change directories:
i.e. PS1="
`whoami` @ `uname -n` | `pwd`
--> "
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hi,
Changing Your Command Prompt
The syntax you use to change your command prompt depends on whether you are using the Bourne,
Korn or C shell.
Bourne and Korn Shells
For the Bourne or Korn shells, you redefine your command prompt with the PS1 command. The
following are three examples:
PS1=": "
PS1="`hostname`: "
PS1="`hostname`{`id`}}: "
The first example sets the prompt to a colon (:), followed by a space.
The second example creates a prompt consisting of your machine name followed by a colon and a
space.
The third example sets the prompt to your machine name, followed by your login name in braces
{}, a colon, and a space.
Type any of the examples above to change your current command prompt. The prompt will remain until
you change it again, or logout.
If you want to make your changes more permanent, add one of the above examples (or a prompt of your
own creation) to your .profile file. If you do this, the prompt you specify will appear each time you
login in or start a new shell.
C Shell
For the C shell, you personalize your command prompt with the set prompt command. The following
are three examples:
set prompt="% "
set prompt="`hostname`\!: "
set prompt="`hostname`{`id`}}: "
The first example sets the prompt to the percent sign, followed by a space.
The second example creates a prompt consisting of your machine name followed by the history
number of the command (hostname1, hostname2, hostname3, and so on).
The third example sets the prompt to your machine name, followed by your login name in braces, a
colon, and a space.
Type any of the examples above to change your current command prompt. The prompt will remain until
you change it again, or logout.
If you want to make your changes more permanent, add one of the above examples (or a prompt of your
own creation) to your .cshrc file. If you do this, the prompt you specify will appear each time you login
in or start a new shell.
Revert back.
Thanks.

Host command, change directory where it opens command prompt

I'm using the HOST command to host out to the command prompt. What I want to know is how to change the directory that the command prompt opens up at. I want it to open up at the c:\ but instead it's opening up at in the forms60 path where forms is installed.
Thanks in advance

Hi Viktor,
     What i could understand from your question is that in the FTP server you'll be writing a file in folder A and once the writing is done you need to get it moved to Folder B using a 'CD' OS command. But this OS command is not allowed in the FTP server.
    If that is the case then it will be better to write the file directly into the Folder B. But in the file adapter use the option 'Use Temporary File'. In that case until and unless the file is written fully the file will be having the name .tmp or so.
    The advantage will be the third party server could be polling the folder B for a file *.txt in that case it won't pick this .tmp file.
Cheers

Command Prompt change to user directory

I am a mac user who is use to the Terminal. On Windows I am trying to set the command prompt to always start at: c:\Users\Username> instead of C:\Windows\System32>
I have found a lot of win2000 directions and Win7 but have not been able to find the directions for Win8.1
What are the steps to change this?
Thanks

Adter adding new ztv10 W 300 ZTE Router command prompt changed

I just installed my new ZTE Router (ethernet+wifi) model ztv10 w300 and got it working even though I seem to be having a few ip address conflicts. The question I have now is why do I see local0026bb05005b:~ jasper$ when I open a command prompt now instead of Jaspers-MacBook-Pro.local:~ jasper$ as before? Under sharing I still have Jaspers-MacBook-Pro.local, but no longer in the terminal. Why? Is this going to cause issues? How do I revert?

The hostname can be changed dynamically by routers and other network devices through DHCP requests, which can have the hostname keep changing every time your IP address and other DHCP information is renewed. If this is the case, you may be able to set the router to never provide hostname information, or you can set the computer to never accept a hostname change. To do this, you will need to add a line to the computer's hostconfig file using the following procedure:
Open the Terminal
Enter the following command:
sudo pico /etc/hostconfig
Authenticate, scroll to the bottom of the file, and add the following line:
HOSTNAME=MacBook
(Change "MacBook" to your desired hostname--no spaces)
Save the file and quit by pressing control-X, confirming the save with the "Y" key followed by "enter".
After this has been added to the file, the computer's hostname should not change even when you renew your DHCP lease.
Cheers

Changing java version from 4 to 5 using command prompt

My default java version is 1.4 . I want to change to jdk 5 for a particular command prompt session alone. i used the following commands

The version still points to 1.4. What is the method to change it from 1.4 to 1.5 ?
Thanks..

Compiling via the command prompt?

Hi, I need to compile a program via the command prompt, and I need help setting up the windows environmental variables. I have followed multiple online tutorials on how to do this, but I keep getting the classDefNotFound exception. Can somebody please tell me which variables I should set? Thanks.

since you are getting a java error, you don't need to change your PATH. All what remains is your CLASSPATH variable. Let's say you have created a directory c:\classes and you store all your classes in subdirectories according to their package. Then your CLASSPATH would like like this:
.;c:\classes
Note the dot at the beginning, that means "current directory", so the directory where you invoke java/javac is also part of the classpath. Note also that each item in the classpath is seperated with a ; .
If you need to add jars to the classpath, don't add the directory containing the jars but add the jars themselves.
.;c:\classes;c:\jar\yourjar.jar;c:\jar\otherjar.jar
Hope that helps.

Running command from command prompt

hai all,
iam using Javamail to send emails. for that iam using the command prompt.the code for executing the commands from the command prompt is as given below.
public static String runCommand(String s)
String result=new String();
     try
     //the command is executed and stored in 'p'
     Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exe("cmd /c "+s);
     result=(loadStream(p.getInputStream()));
     if(p.waitFor()!=0)
     System.out.println("Exit Value = "+p.exitValue());
     System.out.println("Wait for = "+p.waitFor());
System.out.println("Result is "+result);
     catch(IOException e)
System.out.println("IO Exception");
     e.printStackTrace();
     catch(InterruptedException e)
System.err.println("Interrupted waiting for process!");
     return result;
the contents of the 'javamail' directory are
activation.jar, mail.jar, Msgmultisendsample.java and Msgmultisendsample.class
in the first call to this method i pass the string "set classpath=%classpath%;e:\javamail\mail.jar;e:\javamail\activation.jar;e:\javamail; " here i set the classpath since i will be executing the command from the command prompt.the command works fine and the exitValue() is 0.
in the second call to this method i pass the string "java Msgmultisendsample [email protected] abc 123.456.789.012 true" for running the Msgmultisendsample.class file. but i get the exitValue() as 1 and the command is not getting executed. i dont know how handle this change in the exitValue().
both the above commands works fine if i run directly from C:\ but not when called to this method.
Please help me out people, i will be glad to receieve the replies as early as possible since i have to submit this tomorrow.
Thanks in advance,
Jayanth.

well, the problem is not with the command line arguments. it doesnt matter if we get the input from the user through command prompt or GUI. The problem is only in the handling of the change in exitValue during running.

Windows 7 Command Prompt Message Errors (cmd.exe)

Opening a command prompt in Windows 7 and running any command results in error messages such as the ones below (in this case a dir command):
01/28/2010 09:06 AM    The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2373 in the message file for Application.
                                       Windows
      The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2378 in the message file for Application.
      The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2379 in the message file for Application.
For other commands it references "System" rather than "Application" in the error message. I've seen other posts online describing the same behavior linked to the copies of Win7 distributed at the Gartner Symposium in October as part of the general availability announcement (this is where I got my copy).
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Explorer has never really been able to accept drag-dropped files from multiple users very well, i.e., dragging a file from a window from a user-opened folder into an admin-opened folder. It can be done though with a hack. What I have been able
to do in the past, as a workaround, is hot-login. Hot-login is as opposed to warm-login in which is logging off Explorer and logging back in as a different user, or cold-login which is rebooting the system. It is considered a hack by most Microsoft
professionals though is useful.
To hot-login, then, while logged in as a user use the Task Manager to stop the "explorer.exe" process. This will close all Explorer windows and cause your taskbar and you desktop icons to disappear, but you will still have other applications running,
such as your Cmd windows. Note that due to the user's credentials on that machine, you may need to do this using PsKill (part of PsTools, now a Microsoft Product), using the admin Cmd window itself. After doing that, immediately run explorer.exe
from the admin Cmd window before Explorer has a chance to rerun itself (usually several seconds, though it might never come back by itself).
Doing that should now load the taskbar and desktop back, and they may look different if you previously had them customized. This is because Explorer is now running as admin, as if you had logged into Windows as the admin account. But, part of
the OS is also still running as the user, such as the server and workstation services, so you may, perhaps, be able to drag-drop files between users interchangeably, at that point. In the least, running Explorer as admin has its enough advantages, in
some roles (like server administration), to be useful in and of itself.
This all may of course change after enough updates to Windows security.
Oh -- to access the user-specific desktop icons which are now gone from the actual desktop, find its icons in the respective subfolder in the \Users\ folder on the system drive and use them from there. It should in a \Desktop\ folder right in the respective
user folder. User-specific Quick Launch icons from the taskbar are probably in AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\, from the respective user folder.
Now again, this is a hack that I'd use as an Active Directory administrator. It is only needed once per Windows session, usually in conjunction with an AD admin account I had, as logged in and running Cmd via RunAs. Local administrator accounts
function the same way with this process. I don't expect Microsoft to officially endorse this process, so consider it from one power user to the next as the need arises.

Using Javadoc with Command Prompt

Hi is there anyway where I can use javadoc using command prompt?
my friend said is
"C:>javadoc *.java"
but it did not work for me but can work for him...
any help pls?
THanks

Search for the file javadoc.exe in your computer.
If found, change to that directory* and issue a valid javadoc.command.
If not found, download and install Java's JDK, which contains the file.
* You can also set your os's path variable to include this directory.

Using java from command prompt

Hi, I have used command prompts for a long time, though not recently. But this has never happenned to me, and I may have been using a different OS the last time I really used a command prompt. I am currently running Windows XP.
Anyways, when I try to simply change a directory, you know cd "filename", it tells me:
Parameter format not correct - "filename"
Basically, it won't accept any strings as a parameter. I'm really surprised at this. Is this normal? In any case, I got around this by using the short names for files. For example, I used the name docume~1 instead of "documents and settings".
Then, when I got to the folder where my java files were stored, it told me it was an invalid directory but nonetheless allowed me to use it. However, no commands worked except for cd..
Java did not work, nor did basic commands like dir or help. Do you have any idea what is wrong with my command prompt? I know this is not specifically a question about Java, but I can't use Java without this.
thanks.

Check that you are using cmd.exe not command.com. Ie, from
Start->Run... typecmdAnd not command.
Try the javac command and if the computer says'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.then will have to set your OS path (not CLASSPATH - do not set
CLASSPATH at any time or the command prompt will likely never work
again).
Instructions for setting the OS path are [urlhttp://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/install-windows.html]here. Scroll down to
