Unable to execute .exe file with parameters in java

Question

I am trying to execute an .exe file(Say abc.exe) which I would execute from command line as:

C:\....pathtoExe>abc.exe /m param1

The code is:

                String cmd[]={"bin/ocr/abc.exe","/m",param1};
                Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
                p.waitFor();

Pls note that the bin/ocr/abc.exe is the relative path of the exe file and is correct one. Hoewver when I get the input stream and try to read it, I dont get the desired output(Infact I dont get any output at all as inputStream returns nothing). I also have a batch file in the same directory(run.bat) with the following code:

abc.exe /m %1 > abc_out.txt

This can be executed from command prompt as:

C:\...pathtobat>run.bat param1

So how do I execute above batch file which takes a parameter from command prompt? My main aim is to run the .exe file properly from java and get the output returned from the .exe file.

This should work:

String cmd[]= { "abc.exe", "/c", param1 };
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
p.waitFor();
