Question

This doesn’t work,

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("stat /*");

nor this;

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {"stat", "/*"})

Is there any way around it ?

Thanks,

Answer 1

These answers didn’t work so I created a shell file in which i wrote;

stat $1*

so whenever I need that asterisk to be added i call this file without it,

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/my_shell_file /miki/");

it adds the asterisk for me and gives me back the output I need, as it runs:

stat /miki/*

Cheers,
