Passing a string to the Windows command line

Question

Please see the code below

Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();  
rt.exec("cmd /c start");
String[] cmd = {"LogParser", "Select top 10 * into c:\temp\test9.csv from application" };
rt.exec(cmd);

It opens the command window but the strings are not passed in after opening. Can someone tell me why this code won't place the strings into the command window?

Answer 1

The option /C means: Carries out the command specified by the string and then terminates.

So the other command is handled as a separated one.
