Runtime.getRuntime().exec()

May 5, 2006 · Posted in java · Comment 

To copy a file, you can use the following command:

copy source.txt destination.txt

To run this in Java,

String[] cmd = {“copy”,”source.txt”,”destination.txt”}

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

This may generate error=2. To fix this, use the complete path of copy.exe

eg. C:\Windows\System32\copy.exe
