Question

I’m trying to run a .bat file in java, but I’m using the specific path(C:..). I was hoping to make it run a bat file inside my src folder in java. How should I code it? this is my current code:

run.exec("cmd start /c C:\Users\mico\workspace\ANTLR java\src\jython2.5.2");

and I also want to put the source file(the path to where the file is saved)

this is the cmd command I’m using:

C:\Users\mico\workspace\ANTLR java\src\jython2.5.2\jython C:\Users\mico\workspace\ANTLR java\src\save.py

How do I execute the entire command while not making it a static path and be able to load the file?
