Hi,
Thanks a lot for your replies

-lothar, its not leading to an IO exception, I checked it
- paul, i could not follow what you were trying to say


when changed to cmd to notepad, the notepad opens

when I read more about the exec command it says that it does not open
the command prompt(the black window), but it still executes the batch
job
so i am using the string :
  try {
                        Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /C start
test.bat");
                } catch (IOException e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }

test.bat makes a hello directory in the specified location, but its
not working from this code.
if recognizes that its executint test.bat but theres no output

when im runnning test.bat from dos prompt the desired output is
obtained but not from this
