Java Runtime Exec for VBA script with arguments

I am trying to use Runtime exec () to run a vba script with arguments. I have problems passing through Artsakh. I think I need to use the overloaded String [] method for exec.

This currently works:

String command = "cmd /c \"\\concat2.vbs\""

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

But I want to run this with arguments and if I do this

String command = "cmd /c \"\\concat2.vbs\" " + arg1 + " " + arg2

where arg1 and arg2 are the lines my program won't run (status = 1)

Exactly! Modify the command as a String array. The array should contain the command and its arguments:

String[] command = {"cmd","/c", "concat2.vbs", arg1, arg2};
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);


concat2.vbs

must be in the windows execution path (same directory or configured in PATH environment variable)

Check out the documentation for the Runtime class .

Sort of:

String[] cmd = { "cmd", "/c", "concat2.vbs" "dog" "house" };
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);


Should produce "doghouse"
