Re: Executing diff.exe with System call

I want to call the Windows version of the GNUDiff utilities from a Java
application with a call to the Runtime routines. I downloaded and
installed it and wrote the code that seemed to be right. This is the
equivalence of what I have for a call trying to compare two files
redirecting outout to a file.

String[] args=new String[5];
args[0]=C:\HL\GnuWin32\bin\diff.exe;
args[1]=C:\HL\eclipse\workspace\JIAS\getdeck.txt; (file 1)
args[2]=C:\HL\eclipse\workspace\JIAS\ddeck.txt; (file 2)
args[3]=">";
args[4]="diffres.txt" (output file)

try
{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(args):
}
catch(IOException e)
{

}

Yet nothing happens. It compiles and runs, but the output file is
nowhere to be found. Where have I gone wrong?
