Replace space characters in paths with what?

I start bash from Java app and I have in my path for command which executes inside bash spa开发者_Python百科ces ( example cd /Documents and Settings/test ), I run command with Process Builder but it doesn't work when path have spaces. I try to replace spaces with %20 but not help. What to do ?

You can either encapsulate the full path in quotion marks like this:

String quoted = "\"" + pathString + "\"";

or, as you use bash, escape the spaces:

String escaped = pathString.replace(" ", "\\ ");

Both should work as an argument for your cd command.

encapsulate the whole path between quotations.

cd "/Documents and Settings/test"

Using %20 here is nonsense, it's no URL. Use String[] or List[] instead of String and then you can leave the spaces as they are, there's no more cmd line args splitting there.

So you could use

"cd", "/Documents and Settings/test"

however, this make no sense as a shell command. You can't change the working dir of Java this way, as you're starting a new process. You may want to write a shell script (batch file) and invoke it from Java.

You need to run a command which works from the bash prompt. e.g. cd /Document and Settings/ won't. Try cd C:Documents\ and\ Settings which does.

NOTE: bash requires you use a C: at the start to access this folder. Using just / at the start will give you cygwin's a virtual root.
