Re: how to execute commands.

Hi Prajwal,

I could not understand your problem. I think you need to give more
details to understand the problem.

What do you ant to do inside the directory??
- Get a list of files in the directory?
- Delete/Create files inside the directory??

You might give more details about your problem to help you.

i want to go inside some drive

Translation: I want to use something equivalent to a 'cd' or 'chdir'
command to change the current directory in a Java application.

There is some interesting background on this notion. Google for "Java
chdir" - see the Sun bug report for a discussion of the issues for the JVM.

and execute some commands ther.is ther

s/ther.is ther/there. Is there/

any option of doing the same using java RUNTIME class.

Translation: Is there any way to do this using Java's Runtime class?

I assume you are referring to Runtime.getRuntime.exec(String[] command),
and that you are passing relative filenames as parameters to a command.

I occasionally find it useful to read the documentation for the methods
I want to use, you might like to try doing this as well ...
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html#exec(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String[],%20java.io.File)>

Note the part where it says "dir - the working directory of the
subprocess, or null if the subprocess should inherit the working
directory of the current process."
