Passing run arguments in a java program from command line gives an error

Question

I have a simple java program which takes run arguments of length three , these are my arguments

www\u_business_service.do namegt(test|dev)*.server-net.com  localhost.server-net.com

Although the program and the run-arguments run fine when I run it on eclipse, but when I try to do the same form the command prompt running it as

java ReplaceText u_business_application.do namegt(test|dev)*.server-net.com  localhost.server-net.com

it gives me an error as :

'dev)*.service-now.com' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file

I assume it doesn't like the * or some other character, but is there a way around this?

Thanks

Answer 1

'|' character (one that you between test and dev) is a pipe character, that tells you OS to start new program and pass output of first to input of second. Just embed your arguments into quotes.

java ReplaceText "u_business_application.do namegt(test|dev)*.server-net.com  localhost.server-net.com"
