Clearing the Screen

@SS1389: You sound sarcastic...

How can I use the code given below to open a file which is in the same directory as the Java file?

Java:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "cmd.bat /E:1900 /C MyCmd.cmd" );

I was trying to open a file in notepad (or Word if it can work) so I did the following:

Java:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "notepad.exe /C:1900 /C test.txt" );

This opens up notepad but it cannot find the file which I have defined.
What do I need to do with this part:

Java:

/E:1900 /C test.txt

so that it can open up the file in the same directory as the program?

I don't see any reason to need "/E:1900 /C test.txt". It's probably just executing something as it would in the command line, so just doing "notepad.exe FILE" or "notepad.exe C:\\PATH\\TO\\FILE".

I believe that part defines which file to open (though I am not sure)
If I just leave it as "notepad.exe", only a new instance of notepad will be opened whereas I want to open a txt file for the user to read....

code:

ruby -e 'def a;10.times{puts " "*rand(79)+"*"};end;99.times{a;puts " "*34+"Happy New Year 2011";a;sleep 0.1;puts "\e[2J"}'

lol kinda random tony :p

It clears a console's screen with "\e[2J"
