Run external command in Java with syntax

Question

Hello, I’m using a DOS file to unzip files. zip, is UNZIP.EXE itself (DOS executable) I am mounting the code as follows:

Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("e:\\unzip.exe teste.zip" ));

It does not work at all, it gives an error saying that ZIP file has not been found, I have tested it this way, and also it did not work:

ProcessBuilder p = new ProcessBuilder();
p.command("e:\\unzip.exe", "e:\\teste.zip");
p.start(); 

What am I doing wrong? Basically I need to run the unzip.exe command with the ZIP file name in sequence, that’s all.

I appreciate any help! Thank you!

I took a look at the doc and you would have to pass a list of String with the parameters and not in this way that you did, experiment:

ProcessBuilder p = new ProcessBuilder(new String[]{"e:\\unzip.exe", "e:\\teste.zip"});
p.start();
