    Can you describe what you want your application to do?

    Are you trying to send data for "cmd" to read? See the choices for the I/O streams for the Process class. The names are sort of backwards. Input is what is input to the process, not input for you.
    If you do a search you'll find code samples.

    right i figure it out i was doing it right all along!

    String[] commands = {"cmd", "any cmd command here", "you can do a series of commands", "eg cd C:/Users/Ollie/Documents"};
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);

    it's quite simple really!!
