Problem during executing Command Prompt

Question

Hi All
My current code is executing system commands through java programme,like �dir�,�date� itc.Whenever I run the code the desired output comes.But when I am running the code continuselly then lots of command prompt open regularlly.
Is there any way to stop the code from execution untill unless the command prompt get closed manually?Here is my code.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.IOException;
interface IPerlService
     public String BZMCreateZone(String s);
     public int BZMRenew();
public class Sample
     public void BZMCreateZone()
          Runtime runtime;
          Process process;
          String s=null;
          String str=null;
          try
               runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
               process =runtime.exec("cmd /c start dir");
               str=process.toString();
          try
               process.waitFor();
               catch (InterruptedException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
               BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
               new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
          s = reader.readLine();
          catch (IOException ex)
               ex.printStackTrace();
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Sample obj_Sample= new Sample();
          obj_Sample.BZMCreateZone();
}

I want to execute below commands programmatically.
devenv D:\TestApp\TestApp.sln /rebuild release
devenv D:\TestApp\TestApp.sln /rebuild debug
But I am not able to set the current directory path as "D:\TestApp\" programatically.
Through which API I can execute multiple commands on command prompt programmatically same as  we do manually on cmd.
Why can you "not able to set the current directory path as "D:\TestApp\" programatically"? Are you forgetting to escape the backslashes?
Why to you need to set the current directory anyway?
What is the problem with executing multiple commands?
As to your basic goal, have you looked at
system()
ShellExecute()
ShelExecuteEx()
CreateProcess()
? Perhaps you should show us what you have tried.
