Using processbuilder

Question

I'm trying to use ProcessBuilder in order to highlight several files contained in a folder. When I run the following code:

List<String> params = java.util.Arrays.asList("explorer.exe", "/select,C:\\test\\file1.txt", 
 "/select,C:\\test\\file2.txt");
 ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder(params);

only the second file is highlighted. Any idea on how to fix it?

Thank you in advance.

• MadProgrammer: Don't have a PC at hand, but try listing the files using a single /select parameter, for example "/select,file1,file2"
• user3078482: Already tried and only file one will be highligthed.

Answer 1

I doubt if explorer.exe provides options to select multiple files.

• user3078482: Do you know anything else i could you instead?

Answer 2

Instead of

java.util.Arrays.asList("explorer.exe", "/select,C:\\test\\file1.txt", 
 "/select,C:\\test\\file2.txt"

try (from the relevant knowledge base)

java.util.Arrays.asList("explorer.exe", "/select,C:\\test\\file1.txt,select,C:\\test\\file2.txt");
