Control a command line program in Java

[Keyj63]

Could someone point me in the right direction on how to Use java to controll a comand line program. I want to create a GUI that is a wrapper for a command line program that I have but I can not find out how to redirect the inputs and outputs. Thanks ahead of time!

If you load the command line program with Runtime.exec() you will be returned a Process object.

This Process object allows you to redirect the input and output from the process.

Use this redirection in your gui, to send text to the application and to retrieve its out put for display in you gui as well
