Re: running java files in the cmd.exe
Where is the MyClass.java file? I do not see it listed in the HP folder. It needs to be in the folder where the javac.exe program is being executed.
This line from your console:shows that the javac command was executed in the HP folder. That is where the MyClass.java file needs to be located.C:\Users\HP>javac MyClass.java
Back in post#21 the javac command found the MyClass.java file in the HP folder. Where did it go?
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

Re: running java files in the cmd.exe
That shows the MyClass.java file was found by the javac command. Now you need to change the source file to a proper text file.C:\Users\HP>javac MyClass.java
MyClass.java:1: error: illegal character: '\u00bb'
public class MyClass {
^

Re: running java files in the cmd.exe
It has nothing to do with the directory. Edit the file and save it as ANSIi have been changing directories.

I'm happy this morning. i successfully compiled, ran and executed my first java programming this morning. i was on it yesternight, watched an online video and saved the file as ANSI, tried compiling the MyClass.java but it wasn't successful. i left it and turned in for the night. read ur msg this morning wn i woke up and decided to try javac MyClass.java again. it paid off. thanks a million @norm, u hv bn a brother. this is the breakfast cmd.exe gave me:It has nothing to do with the directory.
