Zip command-line in Java

Any1 know how to use the win-zip commandline add-on from within a java program. Or how to execute any commandline arguments?
Any help would be apreciated
Amir

Thanks alot you all !
With a little check in the pitfalls it solved the problem.
You can also use ZipInputStream/ZipOutputStream to read/write zip >files if you want a pure Java solution.
Rick You know of anyway to password protect a zip file with a pure java solution Rick ? Cause it would probably be the best solution.
Thanks again !

Running a command line in Java

Dear all,
I have a question, I need to run a command line in a Java program. The commands line is the next:
cas.exe -i file1
I have been seeing in internet and I have tried:
Process ls_proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start D:\\cas>cas.exe -i file1");
it start the window where the cas folder is... but it dont run the commands line : cass.exe -i file1 :(
Somebody can help me, please??
Andrea

try running it like this.
Process ls_proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start D:\\cas>cas.exe -i file1" +"\n");
if that does not work put this underneath the original.
ls_proc.newLine();
or look into the ProcessBuilder class in java.lang.

hi,
I have a programatically generated very large PDF file with lots of tables and cells in it. The size of the file is few MBs. Using Adobe pro, I am able to reduce the size of the PDF in KBs. I want to achive it either through a command line or using Java API without GUI interaction.

Execute external java command line in Java

But I can not get any result ( It does not create file test.svg) . the code is as follow
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar c:/XSLT/saxon7.jar ../webapps/wfscontroller/gml.xml ../webapps/wfscontroller/SVG.xsl > ../webapps/wfscontroller/test.svg");
If I execute "java -jar c:/XSLT/saxon7.jar ../webapps/wfscontroller/gml.xml ../webapps/wfscontroller/SVG.xsl > ../webapps/wfscontroller/test.svg" in DOS command. it works.
Anybody knows what happened?
Many thanks in advance.

The > is interpreted by the shell. When you use Runtime.exec, you don't go through the shell, you exec the executable directory. So when you exec that command, you're passing ">" as an argument to "java -jar c:/...", and chances are the main() method in that doesn't interpret ">".
So the upshot is you can't use ">", "|", "<", etc., that you can in a shell, with Runtime.exec().
Other options are to run a batch file which invokes that command line.
Or, you can get the standard output from the exec'ed process, and save it to a new file yourself.

How to execute command line by Java

Hi all,
I have the following DOS command line that I need to execute it through Java:
C:\Documents and Settings\Mxmler\Desktop\bin>vr1tovr2 Box.wrl -o Box2.wrl
I know that I have to use Runtime.getRuntime().exec, But can anyone show me how to use it for the above?
Thanks

I need your help please
Forget about the first thread
vr1tovr2 located inside a sub directory called converted (not in the main directory of the project constructed by eclipse)You have to tell the system where to find the program you're trying to run. You can specify the full path to the executable. Alternatively, you can specify the PATH environment variable when you call exec() (and I presume there's something similar for java.lang.ProcessBuilder). Read the docs.
Box.wrl & Box2.wrl (will be generated) both of them are located in another directory called usrYou can either specify full paths to those files, or you can set the current working directory when you call exec(). So you'd tell exec() that you're in the directory where those files are. Read the docs.
I have tried to do the following and I got the following error message: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specifiedYou need to do what I said above, in particular, the first one (where you tell the system where to find the program you're trying to run).
String path = System.getProperty("user.dir");
String userFolder = "usr";
String fileName = "mxmler";
String extension = ".wrl";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("vr1tovr2 "
            + Key.QUOTE
            + path

            + fileName + "v2" + extension
            + Key.QUOTE);If you're going to break it down like that, then don't use the version of exec() that takes a single String for the whole command line. Use the version of exec() that takes an array of Strings (the first String in the array is the program to run, and the remaining strings in the array are arguments to that program).

Help Please: How to invoke unix command lines from java?

I have read past topics. Those are really helpful, but I still haven't got my job done. I tried the following:
String command1 = "ls -la > ls1.txt";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command1);
String command2 = "tcsh -c ls -la > ls2.txt";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command2);
String command4 = "cp keywords.txt copyversion1.txt";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command4);
String command5 = "tcsh -c cp keywords.txt copyversion2.txt";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command5);
String command6 = "tcsh -c 'cp keywords.txt copyversion3.txt'";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command6);
Only "command4" works. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much Gautam. Your solution certainly works. If you don't mind, I would like to ask you (or anybody who is willing to answer) something else. I am trying to run other types of unix command lines as well. I thought that the format you gave would work for everything. But it doesn't seem so:
String command1[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "ls -la > ls1.txt "}; // this works as you suggested
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command1);
String command12[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "lynx -dump http://www.yahoo.com > webpage.txt"}; //working fine.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command12);
String command10[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "ngram-count -text keywords.txt -lm LM10 &"}; //doesn't work
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command10);
String command[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "/u/drspeech/sun4/bin/ngram-count -text keywords.txt -lm LM0 &"}; // doesn't work
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
String command13[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "ngc -text keywords.txt -lm LM13"}; // doesn't work
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command13);
String command8 = "ngram-count -text keywords.txt -lm LM8 &"; //doesn't work
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command8);
String command9 = "/u/drspeech/sun4/bin/ngram-count -text keywords.txt -lm LM9 &"; //doesn't work
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command9);
I tried "commandd1" and "command12". Those worked fine. No problemo. However, there's someting else I need to get done for my job; that is "command10". But it just didn't work. I thought maybe, it's because "ngram-count" is not part of the standard UNIX commands. So, I thought I might just add another alias for it in the ".cshrc" file and call it "ngc" instead. Then I tried to call the alias "ngc" instead. But it didn't work also. Then I thought, maybe, I should call it by referencing it from its original directory "/u/drspeech/sun4/bin/ngram-count". That didn't work either. I tried a couple of other combinations. None worked. I would really like to see how to solve this.

Running a windows command line in java?

Hi guys.
I wonder if there's a way to run windows (dos) commands from within java. the code goes like:
if (setting == true) {
run dos command "ECHO Command is activated and running."
please reply if you are able to help out. thanks a lot
- n3phi|im`

note that in some cases you can use a normal
Runtime.exec ("program arg1 arg2");
but in some cases the commands are built into the shell, so you have to do
Runtime.exec ("command.com /c copy myfile here");
"copy" is one of them, and "echo" is probably one too. The latter should work for all programs and commands, but might involve some overhead as a new instance of 'command' is created and destroyed for every command.

Using Unix command lines in java code

I was wondering if there was a way to run a unix command in java code. I know in C++ there is popen, but i don't know of a way in java. The command i need to run is the whois "domain name" command. Any help would be great!
jarad

try something like this:
public static String whois(String domain) throws IOException {
    BufferedReader is = null;
    Process p = null;
    String result = "";
    p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("whois " + domain);
    is = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
    String line;
    while((line = is.readLine()) != null)
      result += line;
    return result;
}

Calling linux command line in Java

Hi guys,
I met a problem about calling linux comand in java program.
In linux, I type :
similarity.pl -type WordNet::Similarity::vector -file /home/csunix/fzsu/exam.txt
it returns:
Loading WordNet... done.
Loading Module... done.
good#a#1 nice#a#1
good#a#1 nice#a#1 0.885813537770033
dog#n#1 cat#n#1
dog#n#1 cat#n#1 0.712603873475428
good#a#6 nice#a#1
good#a#6 nice#a#1 0.822428178005622
From above, we can see that it works well, similarity.pl is a perl program for computing similarity between two concept, and -type and -file are the parameters.
Now I want to use java to call these command, and here is my code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
String command="similarity.pl -type WordNet::Similarity::vector -file /home/csunix/fzsu/exam.txt";
Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line=null;
while ((line=br.readLine())!=null){
System.out.println(line);
}catch (IOException ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
But noting is print out. I also add the full path for similarity.pl, like /home/csunix/fzsu/similarity.pl in the variable "command", but still the same.
I also change variable "command" to a string array in this way:
String command[]={"/home/csunix/nlplib/WordNet/2.1-F7/perl/bin/similarity.pl",
"-type","WordNet::Similarity::vector","-file","/home/csunix/fzsu/exam.txt"};
Again, I get nothing from it.
Can anyone point out how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Joe

Sure, using the exec method in the class Runtime. You have to be careful with it though...
