Runing a external program

[David Brant]

Hi

Does anyone know how to run an external program (i.e. a windows exe) from a
Java application (if this is possible) I'm writting a program that edits a
file for another program to use.

See either ProcessBuilder, or, for simple cases, the Runtime exec methods.
