VVPATROString[] cmd = new String[3];
cmd[0]="cmd.exe";
cmd[1]="/c";
cmd[2]="vol"
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd,ambiente);
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream());
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String text=null;
String line=null;
while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
text=text+line+"*";
//Then you do the necessary parsing to the text;
String Label = text.substring(text.indexOf("is ")+3,text.indexOf("*"));
text = text.substring(text.indexOf("*")+1,text.length());
String Volume = text.substring(text.indexOf("is ")+3,text.indexOf("*"));
Something like this may work :)
You're welcome...
