The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("pen file "..) fails if path has spaces. Why ?

Asked by rohitdivas in Java Programming Language

Tags: , ,

Hi,
Developing a application on Mac OS X 10.4 and using java 1.5 release 4.

I need to open the folder containing my application through my application.

The program works file if there are no "blank white" spaces in the path, but fails if there are some spaces in between the path. Below it the piece of code. Please suggest a way to resolve the issue.

For example, if the application is run from following path

Applications/RDH myproject/test program

the app fails to open the "test program" directory but if i run the application from

Application/RDH/test

it runs,

///////////////////
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.FileDialog;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import com.apple.mrj.MRJFileUtils;

public class FileTest
{

    public static void main(String[ ] args)
    {
        //new ExecTest();
        new FileTest();
            System.exit(0);
    }
      
      public FileTest()
      {
       try
                {
               
                        File obj = new File(".");
                        String test = obj.getCanonicalPath();
                        System.out.println("test="+test);
                        Runtime.getRuntime().exec("open file://"+test);

                        }
                catch (IOException exc)
                {
                    exc.printStackTrace();
                }
      }
}
//////////////////

Please let me know incase my query is not clear.
