setting environment variables

[AurelianR]

Hello!

I want to set the environment variables for an user from cmd !

I found a command which set global system environment variable : "cmd /c reg add \"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment\" /v \"{0}\" /d \"{1}\" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ"

Waiting your feedback!

Best regards,

Very interesting; thank you! Did you actually test it, and does it work?

Ithe command which sets the user environment variable is:

"cmd /c reg add \"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Environment\" /v \"{0}\" /d \"{1}\" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ";

Yes it is work I used both in a java program here is the code :

package engine;

import java.text.MessageFormat;

public class Environment

{

static final String REG_ADD_CMD = "cmd /c reg add \"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment\" /v \"{0}\" /d \"{1}\" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ";

static final String REG_ADD_USER_CMD = "cmd /c reg add \"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Environment\" /v \"{0}\" /d \"{1}\" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ";

static String environmentVaiable = new String();

public Environment(){ }

void exec(String key, String value) throws Exception

{

// if (args.length != 2)

// throw new IllegalArgumentException("\n\nUsage: java SetEnv {key} {value}\n\n");

key = "testKeyU";

value = "testValueU";

String cmdLine = MessageFormat.format(REG_ADD_CMD, new Object[] { key, value });

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdLine);

}

public void userExec(String key, String value) throws Exception

{

// if (args.length != 2)

// throw new IllegalArgumentException("\n\nUsage: java SetEnv {key} {value}\n\n");

key = "testKey";

value = "testValue";

String cmdLine = MessageFormat.format(REG_ADD_USER_CMD, new Object[] { key, value });

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdLine);

}

public static String getEnv(String env){

environmentVaiable = System.getenv(env);

return environmentVaiable;

}

}
