Re: [text-similarity-users] reading text-similarity output from java

[Antonio T. <Ant...@il...>]

Hi Ted,

finally I figured out how to do it. I've changed this part of the code:

String command = "text_similarity.pl --type=Text::Similarity::Overlaps --
string \"" + string1 + "\" \"" + string2 + "\"";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

with:

Vector<String> command = new Vector<String>();
		command.add("text_similarity.pl");
		command.add("--type=Text::Similarity::Overlaps");
		command.add("--string");
		command.add(string1);
		command.add(string2);
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(command);
Process p = pb.start();


and now it works smoothly. Hope it can be useful for someone.

Regards,
Antonio
