problem with Invoking .bat from java

[jaininaveen]

Hi
I am trying to invoke a run.bat from java but I am not getting expected result, this is the java code

Java Code:

public class test {
public static void main(String args[]){
try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c E:\\test\\run.bat");
} catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
}

The run bat file is

CD E:\quotes
ant full > e:\test.txt

when I click on that batch file it works fine and gives 6kb test.txt file, when I invoke from java program it gives 0kb
please any body help me...............

Searched the web, found an example with...
===
try {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("test.cmd");
p.waitFor();
System.out.println(p.exitValue());
}
catch...
===

Notice the "waitfor"
Most likely your code is continuing before the the external process
is completed?
