This is more Java than Java - Linux, but I'd
appreciate your answer:
Does anybody know if there's a way to use a scanner
in Java ? One of my Java programs is calling a Visual Basic program
that scans & saves an image, but it's not very fast so I'm trying to
sinf a 100% Java solution.
Thanks

static void shexec(String command) throws
InternalErrorException {
String[]
commandArray = {"/bin/sh", "-c

output to a file, which of course requires a shell. I think that was
obscured by some bad line breaks in my original message
