How to run a java program in cmd with arguments


This is a beginner question. I am trying to run a java program from cmd with arguments. This is my class:

public class Test{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        System.out.println("This is a test");
        System.out.println(args.length);
    }
}

I can run it without arguments successfully. How can I put for example 5 and 6 as arguments in my program?

All the other answers I found where just to run the program. I already know how to do that. I was not able to find how to run the program using arguments.


Solution

  • java Test arg1 arg2 arg3 ...
    

    or

    java Test "arg1 arg2 arg3" ...
