@sohguanhApr 23.2010 — #Hi all

I am new to this forum so would like to greet all who have been here since long helping others and wish i will get the same response too. I have a lot of questions to ask but am beginning with a problem that i am currently stuck in.

How to do piping in java? i want to copy the input given by a user in a particular software to the clipboard and get it pasted to any other software. For this i wanna use piping concept in java

Can anyone help to pipe two objects in java?

Thanks[/QUOTE]

Unlike scripting language, Java is a compiled language and therefore piping feature you want in Java is via the Java SDK API. Please see below sample.

[CODE]
 try {
 String cmdString = "<put the command you want to read it's output from here>";
 Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
 Process child = r.exec(cmdString); 

 InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(child.getInputStream());
 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
 String line = null;
 while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null) System.out.println(line);
 int res = child.waitFor(); 

 } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
 System.out.println(ie.getMessage());
 } catch (IOException ioe) {
 System.out.println(ioe.getMessage());
 } 

 [/CODE]
