Executing/Running a file using associate program in MS Windows

Hello:
We are using 10G with WebUtil to open files from within Forms. We use CLIENT_HOST('CMD /c d:\test.Doc);
Every time we execute above it opens a MS Word with "test.doc" in "d" drive. But this also open a DOS window along with MS Word.
Is there a better way to open a default program without using a DLL (C program)?
Thanks

Yes, thanks, that is one way I already knew about.  I want a list.  So yes I could take each of 100,000 files and note which ones are black and for each of them hit properties and cut and paste into notepad a file saved as "uncompressed.txt".
 I was hoping to avoid doing that work, since it would take a lot of time.  Do you know of a faster way?  Is there a sortable file field, like "status" or "attributes" that would work?

    Hi Friends,
    i have a requirement to execute application server file using abap program.

  • Unzip files using ABAP program

    Hi All,
    Can anybody guide me how to Unzip a .zip file using ABAP program... Appreciate your immediate reply...
    actually, my scenario is to check whether zip file is created in appl.server or not.., and if zip file created then i need to check whether its blank file or any content exist inside the file...
    Thanks in advance

    hi
    good
    parameters: command(236) lower case.
    data: std_lines(255) occurs 0 with header line.
      call function 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE'
        destination 'SERVER_EXEC'
        exporting
          command = command
          read = 'X'
        tables
          pipedata = std_lines
        exceptions
          communication_failure = 1
          system_failure = 2.
    You should put your Unix command in the command parameter. "gunzip /yourfilepath/yourfilename" works on my Unix system. Once you determine the proper Unix command, you should be set. This technique is also nice because it provides you with echos back from Unix in table std_lines. For more complex Unix activity, you may want to consider throwing together a Unix script, and calling that via this code.
    reward point if helpful.
    thanks

  • When extract omni.ja file using winrar program give me that file is corrupted for version 17.0.2 windows and language is EN-US ?

    i need to update and set default bookmarks show always when install firefox
    when update omni.ja file i do this steps :
    Steps to change “Bookmarks.html” file in “omni.ja”:
    - Copy “omni.ja” file and change the prefix of the file to “zip” so that you can extract it using WinRAR program, then extract the file.
    - Make the changes you want to the extracted files.
    - Open the original “omni.ja” file using WinRAR program.
    - Using “Add” button to replace the modified files.
    the first step when extart the file it's give me that file is corrupted only for this version (firefox 17.0.2 windows EN-US)

    There is no need to edit files in the omni.ja! archives to achieve this.

    *http://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/26/customizing-firefox-distribution-ini/
    If you need to initialize specific files in a new profile then create a template folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\defaults\profile\) and place the files in that folder.

  • Execute a .cmd file from Java program on tomcat which is running as service

    I have a .cmd/,.bat file which has to be executed depending on the parameters I pass through JSP page hosted on a tomcat instance.
    Tomcat is running as a windows service.
    I need my .cmd file to be opened in a cmd or DOS box so that user can interact with the dos window, which is mandatory.
    When I run the program from eclipse it works well but on the tomcat , the server side the output of the command is written to my log file and it gives no chance for users to monitor and interact with the command.
    Should I do something with log4j settings or is due to tomcat running as service?
    Please help.
    thanks

    thanks for the responses.
    But the design is like that.Then it needs to be fixed.
    I think this is why there's a shortage of people to write computer applications, they are all wasting their time struggling to implement bad designs.
    its a scheduler to be run on tomcat where we interact
    with the running batch files and can't be changed.A scheduler in Tomcat? Why run a scheduler in an application server?
    any help is appreciated.
    I tried to execute the batch file from servlet it
    runs , but i see the cmd.exe in windows task manager
    and need a dos box open.
    Any ideas?If you need a DOS box open then you need a signed-on user. So here's my patch:
    1. Write an application that listens for messages from this Tomcat scheduler, and when it receives those messages it does something in a DOS box.
    2. Have somebody sign on to the server and run that application.
    3. Change the Tomcat scheduler to send messages to that application instead of trying to actually run it.
    It's up to you what kind of messages you should send. There are plenty of choices.

  • Run shell commands using java program

    Hi guys,
    I am trying to run shell commands like cd /something and ./command with arguments as follows, but getting an exception that ./command not found.Instead of changing directory using "cd" command I am passing directory as an argument in rt,exec().
    String []cmd={"./command","arg1", "arg2", "arg3"};
    File file= new File("/path");
    try{
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process proc = rt.exec(cmd,null,file);
    proc.waitFor();
    System.out.println(proc.exitValue())
    BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream()));

    {e.printStackTrace();
    So can anyone please tell me what is wrong with this approach? or is there any better way to do this?
    Thanks,

    warnerja wrote:
    What gives you the idea that the process to execute is called "./command"? If this is in Windows, it is "cmd.exe" for example.It does not have to be cmd.exe in Windows. Any executable or .bat file can be executed as long as one either specifies the full path or the executable is in a directory that is in the PATH.
    On *nix the file has to have the executable bit set and one either specifies the full path or the executable must be in a directory that is in the PATH . If the executable is a script then if there is a hash-bang (#!) at the start of the first line then the rest of the line is taken as the interpreter  to use. For example #!/bin/bash or #!/usr/bin/perl .
    One both window and *nix one can exec() an interpreter directly and then pass the commands into the process stdin. The advantage of doing this is that one can change the environment in one line and it  remains in effect for subsequent line. A simple example of this for bash on Linux is
    import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
    import java.io.Writer;
    public class ExecInputThroughStdin
        public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
            final Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("bash");
            new Thread(new PipeInputStreamToOutputStreamRunnable(process.getErrorStream(), System.err)).start();
            new Thread(new PipeInputStreamToOutputStreamRunnable(process.getInputStream(), System.out)).start();
            final Writer stdin = new OutputStreamWriter(process.getOutputStream());
            stdin.write("xemacs&\n");
            stdin.write("cd ~/work\n");
            stdin.write("dir\n");
            stdin.write("ls\n");
            stdin.write("gobbldygook\n"); // Forces output to stderr
            stdin.write("echo $PATH\n");
            stdin.write("pwd\n");
            stdin.write("df -k\n");
            stdin.write("ifconfig\n");
            stdin.write("echo $CWD\n");
            stdin.write("dir\n");
            stdin.write("cd ~/work/jlib\n");
            stdin.write("dir\n");
            stdin.write("cat /etc/bash.bashrc\n");
            stdin.close();
            final int exitVal = process.waitFor();
            System.out.println("Exit value: " + exitVal);
    }One can use the same approach with Windows using cmd.exe but then one must be aware of the syntactic differences between commands running in .bat file and command run from the command line. Reading 'help cmd' s essential here.
    The class PipeInputStreamToOutputStreamRunnable in the above example just copies an InputStream to an OutputStream and I use
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.io.OutputStream;
    public class PipeInputStreamToOutputStreamRunnable implements Runnable
        public PipeInputStreamToOutputStreamRunnable(InputStream is, OutputStream os)
            is_ = is;
            os_ = os;
        public void run()
            try
                final byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                for (int count = 0; (count = is_.read(buffer)) >= 0;)
                    os_.write(buffer, 0, count);
            } catch (IOException e)
                e.printStackTrace();
        private final InputStream is_;
        private final OutputStream os_;
    }

  • How to run exe file using oracles procedure (ASAP) ?

    i am finding difficulties in running an exe file using an oracle procedure.I need this for a pure .NET application

    I want the solution for both,An Oracle stored procedure cannot generally run an executable on the client machine. Stored procedures run on the server and have no access to your client machine. You could potentially do something convoluted like run a web server on the client with an ASP page that called the executable and have the stored procedure make a UTL_HTTP call to the ASP page, but that's generally not an option.
    If the executable is on the server and it's only available as an executable, you could write a Java stored procedure that called out to the command line and invoked the executable (assuming the operating system user running the Oracle database has permission to do so). If the Oracle database is on Windows and you've got 10.2, you may also be able to write a .Net stored procedure that would do the same sort of thing.
    If you can expose the functionality as a DLL, a more elegant solution would be to use an external procedure.
