Multiple commands execution via runtime.exec() in Java

The situation insists you to issue more than one command (native or external) through Java Runtime Environment via (Runtime.getRuntime().exec("Cmd")).

Ideally speaking, there has to be a way to separate/distinguish the commands from one another.

Few search results in Google suggested to use a semicolon in between the commands as 'cmd1;cmd2' in exec() method.

I tried the same way but it did NOT work out. During my trial-and-effort, the white space character did the trick :)

Runtime.getRuntime.exec("pwd date");

But it did work in Unix flavours but NOT in windows :( and i am still finding out a way to resolve.

Hope to get it resolved soon..

Cheers...
