Runing an exec from class Runtime and redirecting its output ...?..?

Question

Hello!
I am trying to run a C exec by using th eRuntime class.
This works well ...
But, I want to redirect its output to my transcript.
This also works with small output (some lines !) ...
But the out put is up to 3000 lines, my program does
not continue. It is suspended in a waiting state.
I suspected that the buffer is filled, but there is still some lines to be written ...?
Anyone knows this problem and the solution ..?
Thanks by advance
Yaz

You could try something like thisjava.util.List al = new ArrayList();
try {
     Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c dir");
     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
     String s = "";
     while ((s=br.readLine()) != null) {
          al.add(s);
     ListIterator li = al.listIterator();
     while (li.hasNext()) {
          System.out.println(li.next());
catch (IOException ioe) {}Mark
