Executing Sphinx3_aligner Terminal command in java

[bassem magdy]

Hello, I am trying to run this command in java but I am facing a problem. The same command works perfectly in terminal but when it comes to eclipse I get this

Here is the standard output of the command:

Here is the standard error of the command (if any):

FATAL: "main_align.c", line 935: Failed to open file '/home/bassem/Desktop/inputs/text.insent' for reading: No such file or directory

Here is my code.

public static void main(String[] args) {

    String s = null;

    try {

        Process p = Runtime
                .getRuntime()
                .exec("sphinx3_align -hmm '/home/bassem/Downloads/cmusphinx-en-us-5.2' -ctl '/home/bassem/Desktop/inputs/input.ctl' -insent '/home/bassem/Desktop/inputs/text.insent' -adchdr 44 -adcin yes  -phsegdir '/home/bassem/Desktop/outputs' -wdsegdir '/home/bassem/Desktop/outputs' -dict '/home/bassem/Desktop/inputs/en-us/cmudict-en-us.dict' -cepext .wav -cepdir '' -lowerf 130 -upperf 6800 -nfilt 25 -transform dct -lifter 22");

        BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                p.getInputStream()));

        BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                p.getErrorStream()));

        System.out.println("Here is the standard output of the command:\n");
        while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println(s);
        }

        System.out
                .println("Here is the standard error of the command (if any):\n");
        while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println(s);
        }

        System.exit(0);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        System.out.println("exception happened - here's what I know: ");
        e.printStackTrace();
        System.exit(-1);
    }
}

You should not put name in single quotes, they are assumed to be the part of the filename.

I think it cant get the directory of the input from the ctl file

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

You need to specify cepdir properly, for example

    -cepdir /home/bassem/Desktop/inputs/

[bassem magdy]

I tried that but I got this

FATAL: "bio.c", line 616: Failed to open file '/home/bassem/Desktop/inputs//home/bassem/Desktop/inputs/fout.wav' for reading: No such file or directory

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

You need to specify just file names inside ctl file, instead of /home/bassem/Desktop/inputs/fout, only fout.

Thank you man for always being helpful.
