Prepend 2 lines to an existing shell script using java

Hi:
I have a shell script such as
#!/bin/sh
#author ...
#goal ...
set CMDARGS = ...
Now, I need to add 2 lines to this file before the set command so that the script looks like
#!/bin/sh
#author ...
#goal ...
Line 1
Line 2
set CMDARGS = ...
Essentially, Line 1 will be the first line of the script after the comments. How can I do this using File IO in java 1.5?
Thanks.

There no special I/O methods to insert lines into the middle of a file.
I would do the obvious:
1. Read from a BufferedReader
2. Open a temporary file and write to a BufferedWriter,
inserting the new lines where they should go.
3. Delete the original file and rename the new one to take its place.

  • Invoking a bash shell script from Java code

    Hi All
    I am trying to invoke a Bash shell script using java code. The arguments required are "source wmGenPatch <source dir> <destination dir> no_reverse.
    in the code I have specified the arguments considering the cannonical paths of the files as the code may run on Unix or windows platform.
    I am getting a error while invoking Runtime.getRuntime().exec(args). The error is as follows :
    "The Error Occurred is: CreateProcess: source D:\Package4.0\workspace\DiffEngineScripts\v4a02\wmGenPatch D:\Package4.0\workspace\fromImageFilesDir\ D:\Package4.0\workspace\toImageFilesDir\ no_reverse error=2"
    It seems that error=2 indicates that the 'file not found' exception. But i can see the directories referred to in the error at place in the workspace.
    Kindly advice.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Invoking Shell Script from JAVA Stored procedure

  • How to call a shell script in Java ?

    Hi there,
    i try to call a shell script in java but it wont work.
    please can anybody help me.
    my Code :

    public class SendMessage{
    Runtime rt;

    rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    public void send(){

    catch(IOException ex)

    the file called sendMessage.sh is also stored in the same directory as the class File.
    the exception never cames up but the script also never starts.
    what is wrong ??? :-((
    need help !
    }

    rt.exec("sendMessage.sh");Oh, sorry, I didn't see that you tried under UNIX.
    BTW you should check for the OS - this stuff is very os and os release dependent.
    I have not experimented with this under unix.
    But something must interpret that sendMessage.sh file.
    Perhaps the hash bang info is used by exec() (did you put a
    #!/bin/sh as first line in your .sh file?
    If not, try
    rt.exec("/bin/sh sendMessage.sh");Regards,

    From Metalink note 240718.1
    For a concurrent program defined via "Define Concurrent Program" form

    Hi,
    You can call shell script from Java and hence from OAF, following is a piece of code
    try
    String execString = "ls -all"
    Runtime r t = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process proc = rt.exec(execString);
    /* handle you process from here..
    outputstreams, inputStreams and such
    catch (Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace()
    I also don't know Java much but to run shell script you need an object runtime class, I searched it on goolge for you.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use JavaScript to work with SharePoint list.
    To create list items, we can create a ListItemCreationInformation object, set its properties, and pass it as parameter to the addItem(parameters) function
    of the List object.
    To set list item properties, we can use a column indexer to make an assignment, and call the update() function so that changes will take effect when you callexecuteQueryAsync(succeededCallback,
    failedCallback). 
    And to delete a list item, call the deleteObject() function on the object. 
    There is an MSDN article about the details steps of this topic, you can have a look at it.
