Execute windows command for a network path

Question

hi,
i am trying to execute the following code:
try{
Process process=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"cmd","/c","dir","C:\\Backup"});
InputStream inputStream = process.getInputStream();
BufferedReader bufferreader = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(inputStream));
String line = bufferreader.readLine();
while(line!=null)
System.out.println(line);
line=bufferreader.readLine();
It works very fine, but when i replace exec() with exec(new String[]{"cmd","/c","dir","\\hfvs4\\storage"}) or with exec(new String[]{"cmd","/c","dir","//hfvs4//storage"}) i am getting any output, the program just runs and terminates.
help me to execute the "dir" on a network path.

Answer 1

Shouldn't that be "\\\\hfvs4\\storage"?thanks a lot. that's a silly point i missed out.
