Quick Java question

[skipsbro]

Does anyone know if Java has a method similar to the C/C++ "system()" function?

[Reiger]

Something like

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(/* pick your argument flavour here; they come in many varieties */);

And then obtain your output via the I/O streams of the process.
