hey, in my code i'm using Runtime.getRuntime().exec() in order to run a .bat file that calls another java program (they communicate with each other using RMI). when i call: Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:\\MyFolder\\JavaApp.bat"); the seperate process runs perfectly, but when i add a space to the path: Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start \"C:\\My Folder\\JavaApp.bat\""); then the java.exe refuses to load and all i get is an empty cmd with only "C:\"... i also tried running this line with a ProcessBuilder, but that didn't work as well. the .bat file has to be under C:\Program Files, so moving it under a folder without a space in its path is not an option. does anyone know how can i pass through this problem? thnx.
