I have a getlocation.exe file which gives the file path of application when I run it from the command prompt in windows. I'm looking to execute this command from Java code and assign the output to string variable.

eg: if the output of the command is C:/application/home I need this path to be assigned in a string variable

Read your process's InputStream to capture any output from its standard out. This has been asked and answered many times on this and other sites. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Aug 04 '16 at 21:39
