I am implementing one program in which i am providing command line argument as input.

I have added argument in Eclipse D:/IBM/Instruction Xmls in main method

String[] args args contain two element

args[0]=D:/IBM/Instruction
args[1]=Xmls

in this program i am reading path and providing that path to one of method. but due to above behavior it not working

Is there any special character that can be used instead of space in path so that args[0] will contain whole path. i.e args[0]=D:/IBM/Instruction Xmls

i can't modify my path in local system

One solution that i got is i can iterate args array and create string as a path. but i don't want to do this. is there any other solution in command line only? any special character or operator?

That is intended behavior. The space is the separator for the arguments. How else would the main method know how to split them? – Stultuske Oct 29 '15 at 09:55

Wrap in double quotes? – Mena Oct 29 '15 at 09:56
