How do I run command line instructions 1

[amethystct]

I am trying to write this quick li'l thing to do an ls in a given directory and return the results (if any) to the screen. I thought I could use Runtime.exec but in reading up it says that should really only be used to run programs. What would I use instead?

Thank you in advance for your help

Look at the API for java.io.File
