I'm trying to launch a process in java, read the output, write to the program, then read what it responds with. From all the other answers on SO, this is what I have come up with:
class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
String line = "";
try {
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("C:\\myProgram.exe");
Process p = pb.start();
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedWriter output = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(p.getOutputStream()));
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
output.write("foo");
output.newLine();
output.flush();
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
p.destroy();
}
catch (IOException e){
}
}
}
It launches the program, and gives me the output just as expected.
When i write foo
, I expect the program to come back with another response, but it never does.
What am I doing wrong?
