Unfortunately you can't do that. EXE is for executable type
of files only.
Such as EXE, COM or BAT, not doc, gif, rtf, jpg etc...
You could use BAT file to open it but that's not very neat
solution.
Another way would be with 3rd party tools.
Try Jstart. I have been using Jstart for many years now, very
reliable tool,
here is the url.
http://flashjester.com/?section=tricks_jtools_jstart
JStart will allow you to not only launch a program, but use
parameters to make
the program open files, perform special actions and just
about anything you can
use parameters for. You can also choose to launch files with
their default
associated program.
Another solution is provided by Rick Turoczy, it's pretty old
but it should
still work. Perhaps give it a try.
http://www.flashgeek.com/tutorials/07_launchapp_01.asp
Easy to use tool that allow you to launch basically anything
from the projector.
As long as there is system default application supporting
particle file.

Problem with Runtime.exec()

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Runtime.exec() . I have a batch file with debug option to FTP the desktop file to mainframe. When I executed this in Windows it's shows me the responce from the server (like ' Transfer Completed' ) for my FTP commands. But when I launch this through java it's only shows the errors not the normal responces from the server. I need this responses to confirm the proper transfer of file.
My Java Code:
String strCommand = "cmd.exe /c " + outdirectory + batchfilename;
boolean bWait = true;
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = r.exec(strCommand);
BufferedInputStream bis =new BufferedInputStream(pr.getInputStream ());
int c=0;
/** Outlet for IO for the process **/
while (c!=-1) {
c=bis.read();
/**Now wait for the process to get finished **/
if(bWait == true){
pr.waitFor();
pr.destroy();
My Batch file is :
FTP -n -d -s:C:\IT2.cmd > C:\tIT2.log
EXIT
Thanks
Sathiesh

Ahh, you are redirecting the standard out from the ftp command to a file, therefore no output is sendt back to your java code,
you have to redirect the stderr stream, not the stdout stream in your batch file;
FTP -n -d -s:C:\IT2.cmd 2> C:\tIT2.log(notice the "2>" instead of ">")
Now your batch file should direct the error stream to the log, and the standard output back to the java program.
(I'm used to UNIX streams, not NT, but the "2>" redirection should work on NT also I guess)

Problem with fscommand

Dear All,
I have problem about fscommand.
I have 3 modules flash in .swf file. first module is menu
frame, program and guide. I create execute file for program.swf and
menu.swf, now I have file flash:
menu.exe
program.exe
guide.exe
File 'program' and 'guide' I save in /fscommand/
I hope can load/exec file "program.exe" from file "menu.exe"
(its work)
and I hope can load/exec file "guide.exe" from file
"program.exe." (it isn't work)
From frame menu (button to execute program) I already create
command for execute file, actionscript 2.0:
fscommand("exec", "program.exe"); its run properly. but when
I load/exec "guide.exe" from program.exe (AS 2.0 :
fscommand("exec", "guide.exe"); ) isn't work, I dont know why.
I have create sub folder and copy paste to
"../fscommand/fscommand/guide.exe. its also not run. looks like
freeze then fail.

Pass parameter with fscommand exec

Hi,
I am writing a text file with batch file and this batch file which is called from fscommand.
I need to pass a parameter from fscommand. Is is possible ?
Following is flash and batch file code.
Flash Source
import flash.events.Event;
bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,save);
function save(e:Event){
fscommand("EXEC","write.bat");
Batch file
ECHO This is my new text1 %1 > "temp.txt"
Thanks ------------------- Amit

As mentioned in one of your other posts you could use FileReference.save(...) this does require user interactive however and Flash Player 10.
Alternatively you could create a userId and save the data in an online database (but obviously this isn't local)
If you are using AIR you could create a local database
Otherwise I don't do not know of a way to achieve what you are after

Problems with runtime.exec()

Hi All,
I am having a problem using runtime.exec()
in servlet to call a java file from the server.The server is a linux one and i am using a tomcat server-4.1.24 the server contains
some java files which i need to invoke with the help of the servlet program so i try to use exec() in servlet to invoke a particular java file in the server.The program is compiling well but no information
is displayed on the browser.Where in the servlet program i try to print the details of the particular java program that is in the server.For ur
reference i will post the code :-
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ExeServlet extends HttpServlet
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res)throws ServletException,IOException
try
String path = getServletContext().getRealPath("/var/jakarta/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes/ServletExample.java");
/*Where it is the path of the java file that resides in the server machine(linux)Which i want to invoke and print its details on the browser*/
Runtime runtime=Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc=runtime.exec(path );
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream()));
res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter pw=res.getWriter();
pw.println("<b>");
String line=null;
while((line=br.readLine())!=null)
{ pw.println(line); //Displaying the details of the ServletExample.java file in the browser
pw.println("</b>");
catch (Exception e)
pw.println("Listener *not* started!");
What is the problem here?I was so frustrated with this.Pls. do provide an immediate reply if there is any code regarding this is working pls. do provide it.It is Urgent.I will be waiting for ur reply.
Thanx,
m.ananthu

Hi Leo,
Thank u for the reply i still have the problem with exec() in servlets.Has i said earlier in my previous mail by using exec() i trying to execute the output of a c-program for eg,Hello.run which provides an output of "HelloWorld" which is a sample eg.The Hello.run is the directory /var/jakarta/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes which is also the directory where my servlet program is.Where i am using a tomcat server-4.1.24 on the linux machine 7.3.Which is the server ofcourse.
Here by using a servlet program i try to exceute the Hello.run c-program and display the output in the browser.This is what i need to do.
I also used a sample core java class put the exec() there in a method and i try to call the method in the servlet.Which is also not working.
Here is that example :-
The core java program:-
public class UsingExec
public String ExeDisplay()
     try
System.out.println("ExeDisplay");
     Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
     Process p=rt.exec("/var/jakarta/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes/Hello.run");
p.waitFor();
return "true";
     catch(Exception e)
return "false";
public static void main(String args[])
UsingExec ue=new UsingExec();
ue.ExeDisplay();
When i run this program only ExeDisplay at the top is displayed.
Here is the Servlet program:-
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ExeServlet extends HttpServlet
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res)throws ServletException,IOException
try
res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter pw=res.getWriter();
UsingExec ue=new UsingExec();
String line=ue.ExeDisplay();
pw.println(line);
catch (Exception e)
When i display this program on the browser only "false" is displayed from the UsingExec.java & nothing is displayed.
Thanx,

Any problem with Runtime.exec()

I am required to launch a local exe from an applet. At present I am using AppletContext.showDocument().The problem with this is that in netscape a box is popped up forcing the user to save that exe file. The requirwment is to run it directly without any message being asked.
A workaround is to use Runtime.exec(), it works, however I have heard that it is not platform independent.
(1) Is there a better solution than Runtime.exec() ?
(2) If not could you give me some info on Runtime.exec() and the problems associated with it ?
(3) Is there a way to use AppletContext.showDocument() without the message being asked ?
Shikari.

First of all, Java is platform independent language, and has many security restriction in it's applets.
so from an applet you can't excute a program using "Runtime.getRuntime().exec()".
coz. there is security restriction on that.
for the "AppletContext.showDocument()" this methid is for displaying the specified document on the client browser, so it can't excute a client program.
if u need to use Runtime.getRuntime().exec() you have to get the client agreement for that.
see the applet security restriction for more info.

InputStream problem with Runtime.exec

Dear all,
I am writing a java application which is executing an external program (through threads). I am trying to read the output of that program while is in execution. Anyway i found out that InputStreamReader is not ready unless enough output of program is coming or the program exits.
I simplified things writing the following small C program:
main(){
printf("Just a print\n");
for(;;){} //Or anything that might keep program in execution
So i am trying to find out why i cant get the output of this program unless it exits. Is this a problem with the underlying Stream? Is there any workaround?
Thanks for any help.

You are right. The C code is that of an external program that i am trying to execute and get its output. Actually i am working on a bigger program that it prints Directories recursively. To keep things simpler i used that simple C program to explain my problem.
The code i am using is the following:
/* WindowsExec.java */
import java.io.*;
public class WindowsExec
     response std_out,std_err;
     public WindowsExec(){
     try{
     String[] cmd = new String[]{"dark.exe"};
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(cmd);
std_out = new response(proc.getInputStream(),System.out);          std_err = new response(proc.getErrorStream(),System.err);
std_out.start();
     std_err.start();
int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
System.out.println("ExitValue: " + exitVal);
               proc.destroy();
     } catch (Throwable t){
          t.printStackTrace();
public static void main(String args[]){
          new WindowsExec();
/* Response.java */
import java.io.*;
class response extends Thread
     InputStream is;
     PrintStream type;
     public response(InputStream is, PrintStream type){
          this.is = is;
          this.type = type;
     public void run(){
     try{
          InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
while(true){
if(isr.ready()){
System.out.println("Its ready!"); //HERE!!!
          break;
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line = null;
while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null){
System.out.println(line);
               isr.close();
               is.close();
          catch (Exception ioe){
ioe.printStackTrace();
Notice that i am never getting isr.ready() = true!

Ran into an interesting problem with getRuntime().exec()

Hi,
I'm trying to run a application using getRuntime().exec(). When I run the prgram from the command prompt everything goes ok, but when I start it from my java application, I get and error and the program exits.
The executable I call withing my application is a bat file that sets the neccessary environmental variables (for now) and executes the right exe files. Exactly the same bat file I can start at the command prompt. I've also tried calling cmd /c to start the program and directly calling the exe started by the bat file.
Below is the error I get. I have a hunch the program is made with Fortran.
Can't read communication file
Filing error number 7: FNF:File not found
: Unable to open communications file to read
There should be nothing wrong with my code and I can read and control the program. The problem occures when I try to change the mode withing the program, that makes it try to start a new process.
What's the difference between starting a program manually through the command prompt and executing it using getRuntime().exec()?
Br,
Tom

I'm just wondering how exec() can be different from using the command line in windows. I even execute my java app in the same directory and it uses the same commands.

Problems with getRuntime().exec()

Hello!
I'd like to start a process which will run a C executable.
The C executable named dbc is placed in the folder
/home/swkm/services/rul_hyb/rul-1.0/bin and accepts as an argument the name of a database, for example, myDB
I tried the following code:
   File f = new File(filePath);
          Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec
               new String[]
                    "dbc",
                    "myDB"
               }, null,f
          );where filePath is the above mentioned path.
The problem is that I receive an:
java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: dbc: not found
     at java.lang.UNIXProcess.<init>(UNIXProcess.java:148)
I tried the new Tiger version of ProcessBuilder in the following manner:
ProcessBuilder process = new ProcessBuilder
               new String[]
                    "dbc",
                    "myDB"
              process.directory(new File(path));
              Process p=process.start();but I got the same exception: "dbc not found"
Do you have any idea what is going wrong?
Thank you very much
With best regards,
Sorin

Are you assuming that the executable executes from the directory defined by 'filePath' ? If so then this is wrong - the executable must be in a directory in the PATH environment variable or you must specify the full path to the executable.
The third argument in the exec() command is the working directory for the process and does not modify the PATH environment variable.
P.S. It does not matter whether you use Runtime.exec() or ProcessBuilder becauuse behind the scenes Runtime.exec() just wraps ProcessBuilder.

Problems with Runtime.exec() and certain Unix processes

Certain Unix processes don't behave correctly when run from Java using Runtime.exec(). This can be seen by running /bin/sh and trying to interact with it interactively. The issue appears to be that /bin/sh (and many other Unix tools) are checking the file handles on the spawned process to see if they are associated with a TTY.
Is there any way to associate a process spawned by Runtime.exec() with a terminal or alternatively, is there a JNI library available that would setup the process correctly and still provide access to the input and output streams?
Our objective is to have the flexibility of expect in being able to run and interact with spawned processes. A bug was opened at one point but closed back in 1997 as being a fault in the spawned process, not Java.
Bug ID: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4058689

#include <stdio.h>
void doit() {
int c;
        while((c=getc(stdin)) != EOF) {
                printf("%c",c);
int main() {
        freopen("/dev/tty", "r", stdin);
        doit();
}This program reopens its standard input against /dev/tty and catenates it to stdout. And voila, it takes its standard input from the terminal, even though it was started with stdin against /dev/null..
$ gcc b.c -o b
$./b < /dev/null

Problems with Runtime.exec inside OC4J in OAS!!! help!!

Hi all,
I have a method on my webapplication and the same call a script .cmd on windows and a .sh on unix using Runtime.exec command, inside this script have a call to a java program ie.
java JMSAdmin < jcajms.txt
OK, this is fine in OC4J Standalone 10.1.3 in windows and linux but in OAS 10.1.3 the same not run and not throw any error. Its is a BUG ?? limitation ?? OAS ignore a call to another java ??
please help.
Tanks

Normally, you must prepend the command with a call to the command shell (eg /bin/sh).
But I suspect that this call isn't allowed due to Java EE specification restrictions.

Newbie problem with "Runtime exec" "OutputStream"

I am running an external process (Oracle Sqlplus) from a simple GUI using "Runtime exec". My problem is that I'm only able to retrieve input from the process after the Java output stream is closed. If I don't close the output stream my application does nothing. As soon as I close the output stream the input from the external process is printed to the screen and the external process is killed.
I want to be able to start the external process once and then send and receive multiple input and output streams to it without having to stop and restart the process. Currently the only way to retrieve input from the process is to close the Java output stream which closes the process.
Is this possible? Am I doing something wrong?

Major Problem with regExp.exec and regExp.test

I'm a programmer, and I'm using regExp's to simplify my life in a chat thing.
Basically, ":blue:" in a chat will essentially be replaced with "<span style='color:blue;'>".
because there can be all sorts of colors, I can't use replace.
Instead, I used regExp.exec(string). However, there is a major bug where every other time, the regExp.exec returns null even if there IS a match.
If the chat is ":blue:", the response will alternate as :blue:,null,:blue:,null,etc.
If the chat is ":blue: :red:" (e.g. two color blocks) the response will go :blue:,null,null,:blue:,null,null and so on.
Basically, if there are 'x' color blocks defined, the .exec will work every x+1 times, and the other times it will not find a match.
this also happens with regExp.test.
I have gone through my code hundreds of times, and finally, I decided to run it in Opera. It works PERFECTLY fine. even in IE, it works. So i had to assume it was some bug with Firefox.
I hope this question catches the attention of the MOZILLA DEVELOPERS, as this is huge.
I'm not sure if it's just me. However, I have uploaded an html file onto http://jsbattle.tablocks.com/Untitled-1.html (the subdomain had a different purpose, but i figured i would put it here), and it will alert :blue: and null (at least for me). You can view the source code.
An important note is that this .exec and .test glitch only happens inside functions. for example, regExp.exec twice just in a script tag will run fine, but while in a function abc() {regExp.exec} and executing abc(); abc(); it'll glitch out.
I have not run extensive tests to see when this glitch occurs, this is all I know.
Please help, Mozilla Developers. And if anyone knows how to contact the Mozilla Developers, tell me, or address them of this issue.

Ok ... it's the 'g' flag but with IE don't occours

Problem with Runtime.exec() method

Hi All,
tring _cmd = "cmd /c ";
          cmd =cmd+"sqlldr ";
          cmd = cmd + " userid=" + userId + "/" + passwd + "@"+ tnsEntry;
cmd = cmd + " control=" + controlFilePath;
          cmd = cmd + " log=sql.log skip=1";
          System.out.println(_cmd);
     try{
                         Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
                         Process process = r.exec(_cmd);
                         int exitVal = process.waitFor();
System.out.println("Process exitValue:********** " + exitVal);
               catch(RuntimeException re )
                    System.out.println("Failed to runtime run the process.123.."+re);
I ve used proc.exitValue() to print the value of int value
but i got exception
then i used proc.waitFor() and print the value of int I got value = 4
here it is
Process exitValue:= 4
could u please tell me what does it mean? how to solve if the value is 4?
Thanks in advance

Please don't cross-post, it is extremely rude.
