Executing a file from a location containing spaces.

OK my problem is I'm not sure how I'm supposed to navigate to a file location that contains space because this code stops reading the file location at the first space.

Code:

---

Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
try {
    Process pp=run.exec("C:\\Riot Games\\League of Legends");
    }catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
          System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    }

---

I get this error

Code:

---

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Riot": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
        at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(Unknown Source)
        at LoLStarter$startButtonListener.startLoad(LoLStarter.java:151)
        at LoLStarter$startButtonListener.actionPerformed(LoLStarter.java:140)

I feel like this is really simple but I cannot think of what this would be.

Try one of the other exec( ... ) methods (one that doesn't break up your String).

kind regards,

I'm looking in the exec api and the only thing I think I can use is the getLocalizedInputStream(InputStream in). I don't know how I would stop my string from getting broken up using .exec();.

You didn't look good enough; the exec(String[] cmdarray) version does what you want (it doesn't break up a single String).

kind regards,

Jos

Oh I misunderstood what you meant then. In the actual code I am passing it a String Array but it wasn't working. I found an example on how to use the exec(String[] cmdarray) version and its now working perfectly.

Thanks JosAH for tolerating my derp moment.
