Question

I’m using this code to launch a .cmd file:

try {             String line;             Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(myPath + '\\punchRender.cmd');             BufferedReader input =                     new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));             while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {                 System.out.println(line);             }             input.close();         } catch (Exception err) {             err.printStackTrace();         } 

It works fine, but I want to actually see the cmd.exe window running. How can I make it show? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Instead of running your path, try actually running cmd.exe but using the build in start command to launch a new command window. You can see the full set of command line arguments by entering the following at a command prompt:

cmd/? start/? 

in your case, you probably want to execute something like the command:

cmd /c start c:\path\to\punchRender.cmd
