Return value from UNIX to JAVA

Hi all,

is there any way to return value from UNIX to JAVA application.
I have my source code like this:

application.java
Code:
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();  
Process p = runtime.exec(myscript);

myscript.sh
Code:
text="Hello World"
echo $text

How to return the "Hello World" text to the application.java ??

THanks in advance.. Smilie

Your myscript.sh is fine...
In your Java code, you need to assign the value to a variable.

OK noted.
I will assign the value to the variable. But how do I get the value from the UNIX ?

Thanks..

According to the javadoc, Runtime.exec() returns a Process object that allows you to get information about the process. I found the exitValue() method and that is likely what you need.

Process (Java Platform SE 6))
