I'm trying to read a file from the user, in which each line is a cmd.exe command, and run it (it's okay to assume the commands are legal), but when I give a command like echo hi, I get runtime exception error:
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "echo": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
I'm trying to run the commands like this:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
where command = "echo hi". This does work for commands like regedit though, so it seems the runtime I'm getting is like the "run" window and not cmd. Is there a way to run these commands?
