How to call the code relative to the present directory.

Question

I have a code like this:

String[] cmd = { "osascript","mylocation" };
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
process.waitFor();

The location myLocation file is inside my script folder. This class is in src folder. I tried ../script/file which is not working.

How can I call the file in script folder?

From the Javadoc for Runtime

    public Process exec(String[] cmdarray,
           String[] envp,
           File dir)
             throws IOException

Executes the specified command and arguments in a separate process with the specified environment and working directory.

You need to do provide the relative path as given below:

    String[] cmd = { "..\\script\\osascript", "mylocation" };
    Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
    process.waitFor();
