Pass parameter from array to powershell java program

Question

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

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

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

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?

If you have made sure that the input parameters are in the exact order you need them you can simply ask for the elements to do stuff like `"powershell.exe $Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA" + parts[0] +" ... " + parts[...];` — px06, Nov 21 '16 at 11:11

@px06 yes I'm sure.i should try this: "powershell.exe $Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA + parts[0] + parts[1]" ; without " end of $Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA" ? — sara, Nov 21 '16 at 11:20
@px06 I wrote ("powershell.exe $Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA + parts[0] + parts[1]") or ("powershell.exe $Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA + 'parts[0]' + 'parts[1]' " ) but i have ioexeption — sara, Nov 21 '16 at 11:27
@Onkar I used this.now when i execute the powershell I want to pass my array instead of enter the value myself : String command = "powershell.exe $Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA -ZoneName -Name -IPv4Address -TimeToLive"; — sara, Nov 21 '16 at 11:34
Combine your array as one string by seperating comma(,) and then execute — Onkar, Nov 21 '16 at 13:02
@Onkar "powershell.exe Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -Name ' zoneName ' -ZoneFile 'zoneFileName' " zone name and zone file are in my string array and i want to put them in this script.what should i do? — sara, Nov 21 '16 at 13:33

Use a ProcessBuilder. You have to put each parameter (including path to the program) as items to an array or list and pass it to the constructor of ProcessBuilder.

for example:

String[] arguments = {"powershell.exe", "$Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA", "-ZoneName", "[your zone name]", "-Name", "[your name]", "-IPv4Address", "[your ipv4 address]", "-TimeToLive", "[your TTL]"};
ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder(arguments);
Process process = processBuilder.start();

As an alternative you can use Runtime.getRuntime().exec()
