executing a C call within java program

[Guest_imported]

How do i call and parse data into a c program within a java program? I know it can be done, because some other people have told me it can be done, but they don't know how.

Hi,

Do u want to call u r .c file or .exe file. If u want to call an .exe file then u can use

Runtime.exec(&quot;<filename with path>&quot;

If u want to use your .c file as it is, JNI(Java Native Interface) is the only solution.

bye

Cheers for that, the JNI seems like what i am after. All i have to do now is learn how to implement it.

Use JNI is Correct. First Create DLL or Object file then using System.loadLibrary to load the DLL and call it using native method.
