Question

I am trying to send a variable to shell script from jsp.
i.e

txtstr="xxx"
Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("filename.sh txtstr");

or

Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("filename.sh 'txtstr'");

But it is taking argument as a txtxstr but not its value. How to solve this?

Thanks

But it is taking argument as a txtxstr but not its value.

because you are passing txtstr as string. It should be…

txtstr="xxx";
Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("filename.sh "+txtstr);
