Executing .cmd with Runtime.exec()

Question

I'm trying to run a file with the following cod:
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] command = {"cmd.exe", "/c", "start", "c:\\Documents and Settings\\Rahul Shroff\\Desktop\\svn\\trunk\\c\\rahul_facedetect.cmd"};
try{
         Process proc = rt.exec(command);
catch(Exception e) {System.out.println("error with proc" + e.getMessage());}With the code, a command prompt is opened, but my .cmd file is not. Does anyone know how to fix this? Please don't send me a link to the "When Runtime.exe() Won't" ; I have already looked through this. Thanks!

Answer 1

Okay, I tried that, and the code compiled fine, but I got this runtime error:
error with procCreateProcess: "C:\Documents and Settings..." error = 123
My code is :
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    String[] command = {"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Rahul Shroff\\Desktop\\svn\\trunk\\c\\rahul_facedetect.exe --cascade=C:\\Documents and Settings\\Rahul Shroff\\Desktop\\svn\\trunk\\OpenCV\\data\\haarcascades\\haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml"};
    try{
         Process proc = rt.exec(command);
         System.out.println("tried to execute .cmd");
    catch(Exception e) {System.out.println("error with proc" + e.getMessage());}
  }I am sure that the command C:\Documents and Settings... works; I've tried it separately in a command prompt. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help!
