How do you access external .exe within Java?

Say I wanted to feed a command to a .exe, right? How would go about doing that in Java and is there a cross-platform method or does it vary?

Thanks
Babu H

example
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyAdapter;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.io.*;
public class RuntimeExample extends JFrame {
    private JTextArea textArea;
    private JTextField textField;
    private PrintWriter writer;
    public RuntimeExample()
        init();
        initProcess();
    public void init()
        textArea = new JTextArea(20, 80);
        textArea.setEditable(false);
        textField = new JTextField(30);
        textField.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter()
            public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event) {
                if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER)
                    if (writer != null)
                        textArea.setText("");
                        writer.print(textField.getText() + "\r\n");
                        writer.flush();
                        textField.setText("");
        Container container = getContentPane();
        JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
        scrollPane.setViewportView(textArea);
        container.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        container.add(textField, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        pack();
        textField.grabFocus();
        setVisible(true);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new RuntimeExample();
    public void initProcess()
        Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
        try
            //Process p = rt.exec(new String [] {"cmd", "/C", textField.getText()});
            //textArea.setText("");
            //textField.setText("");
            Process p = rt.exec("cmd");
            writer = new PrintWriter(p.getOutputStream());
            Thread thread1 = new Thread(new StreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
            Thread thread2 = new Thread(new StreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
            thread1.start();
            thread2.start();
            System.out.println("Exit Value = " + p.waitFor());
        catch (Exception ex)
            textArea.append(ex.getMessage());
            ex.printStackTrace();
    public class StreamReader implements Runnable
        InputStream is;
        public StreamReader(InputStream is)
            this.is = is;
        public void run()
            try
                BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
                String data;
                while ((data = reader.readLine()) != null)
                    textArea.append(data + "\n");
                reader.close();
            catch (IOException ioEx)
                ioEx.printStackTrace();
}you can pass input to the exe by using getOutputStream() from Process and get the output from getInputStream() from Process

How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad

Hello,
How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad / windows laptop.
I donot have a Mac and I use windows laptop.

For your iPad, you will need an app, like FileBrowser, to access the external drive.
For your Windows laptop, you would access the drive like any other network share. The basic format is: \\<servername>\<sharename>, where, in this case, the servername is the base station name and the sharename is the name of the external drive.

InterfacePtr<IControlView> controlView(theSubject, UseDefaultIID());
ASSERT(controlView);
if(!controlView) {
break;
// Get the button ID from the view.
WidgetID theSelectedWidget = controlView->GetWidgetID();

Would any body like to point my on the right course of how to do this?

Thats what am trying to avoid, I don't what you guys to do that. Im looking for some guidance of what is the recommend tools/method's to use:
e.g. ArrayList, Array, HashMap.. so on.This is really bringing out the analogies! That is like saying, "I want to build a shed. Should I pick up a hammer or a screwdriver first?"
Design first, implement second.
What is a timetable? What are its attributes? Does it have components? What can it do? What application tasks involve a timetable? What other objects does it communicate with?

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed and you don't know what it is now?

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed by the former husband and you don't know what it is now? And you set up your own new ID and account but can NOT access the updates, from the App store for the many apps that you already have, because they require that you sign in with that former now inaccessible ID and account and password? Call it a problem of modern times and changing relationships, if you want to be charitable.

So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it. Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.
You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

How do you access folders/files in other users Finder list?

How do you access folders in other users finder list, once you have shared the folder or file

You should be able to open and view the contents of any directories you have access permissions to using FInder, by navigating the directory tree to the folders in question and opening them as you would your own folders. If you know the full path-name of the directory, you can enter it into the Finder navigator opened by Apple-Shift-G; the dialog that pops up uses the same directory listing method as all unix systems, and has tab completion for ease of use. In general, all users have their home directories in /Users/, or you can simply use ~/../<name> to go to the home folder of a user via the parent (..) directory of your home (~) directory. If you are experiencing bugs or errors with this, as opposed to simply not knowing how to do this, please post any details of your experience so that others can help troubleshoot your problems.
