Problem executing .exe file created with C++ code

[angryboy]

then i'm not too late, that code above should work.

Ok... just made a snap decision.

I would still like to make it work this way, but if I can't, I would at least like to figure out how to start the C++ app and get output to the console for the java app, and how to send it input. Basically just reassign the java console to the C++ app until my C++ app exits. If anyone has some good code for that, I'd love to see it.

@ AB nope... your .bat file still doesn't work...

The Process class has various get...Stream() methods for communicating with the process. You could even use System.setIn()/setOut() to directly plug the console together.

There are plenty of JNI tutorials about. You'd just replace the main method with

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_ClassName_MethodName (JNIEnv *env, jobject obj) {
     // C++ code
}

where ClassName and MethodName correspond to your Java code.

@Singing Boyo: weird, did you use both code and bat file together as i had it?

[Singing Boyo]

weird lol... I just removed my .exe file and replaced it... may have had something to do with the fact that I was copying the exe file from where the C++ compiler put it to the directory of my Java project...

Thanks to all for your help!
