Thanks for the little example.
I am doing Eclipse RCP development and I need to have a Command Line interface besides the GUI.
Being able to open files with windows associated editor through the CLI with a one liner (“cmd /c start fileName”) is really nice.
Thanks again

Is there any way to get the result of the command executed to be stored to a variable .
Ex: we will get a message the file is in use by another program if we try to run an erase comman on a open file.
I want to get that message to a variable could you please put some light on this….
