Question

I have a java code that execute a powershell script.My parameters are in a string array that I got from user.

Java

String sentence = clientinp.readUTF();
                 String[] parts = sentence.split(",");

What I have tried:

How should I put the parameters to the script every time I execute the code? I tried this code:

Java

String command = "powershell.exe  $Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA -ZoneName -Name -IPv4Address -TimeToLive";

But I don't know how can I pass this array to powershell. What should I do?

Solution 1

Use the Formatter (Java Platform SE 7 )[^] to build a string with parameters.

Example:

Java

String command = String.format("powershell.exe  $Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA -ZoneName %1$s -Name %2$s -IPv4Address %3$s -TimeToLive %4$s", parts[0], parts[1], parts[2], parts[3]);

Note that the above may be not what you want because you did not specify what the input is and if it matches the parameters expected by the Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA cmdlet.

I really appreciate for your help, it worked perfectly without the first $ before Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA

I copied and pasted it from your post but should have noticed that it must be removed.

Thank you for your feedback and accepting the solution.

yes I didn't notice it at first either,thank you very much :)
could I be in contact with you?

If you need further help you should just post new questions. You will probably get faster and better help then because the questions will be seen by more people.
Especially for Java because I know it only a little bit.
