Compile Multiple Classes and pass command line arguments

How would I compile two classes using command line(without the use of additional software) and pass arguments to it?



I've created myself a sources.txt file which contains definitions where each class is. I did this by using the following command 



dir /s /B *.java > sources.txt


Then I try to do javac @sources.txt although that does not help as I'm getting the following error:



error: invalid flag: C:UsersAdrian

Usage: javac <options> <source files>

use --help for a list of possible options


Additionally, my path does contain one space, after my username. Adrian $. So in sources.txt it looks like this: C:UsersAdrian $



I did try putting quotes around them or percentage sign but then I get error which specifies that the file was not found.




Full Main code: 



package me.adrian;



import java.io.FileNotFoundException;



public class Main {



    public static void main(String args) {

            CSVoperator CSVfile = new CSVoperator();



            try {

                CSVfile.readCSV(args); //get args into there.

            }

            catch (FileNotFoundException e){

                e.printStackTrace();

            }

    }



}

          You can compile directly by specifying multiple names in on command



          javac file1.java file2.java


          or by using *, all .java files that are in current directory will be compiled



          javac *.java

          Since your paths contain space they has to be quoted. You can do it by iterating over sources.txt in a loop and quoting the entire line:



          FOR /F %%i IN (sources.txt) DO "javac %%i"


          or you can try dir /x to generate sources.txt with a short path as per dir docs




          /x



          Displays the short names generated for non-8dot3 file names. The display is the same as the display for /n, but the short name is inserted before the long name.

          • @Adrian the root cause is your paths containing a space. Since I'm not a windows batch expert nor I have access to windows command prompt I can't really help, sorry. Your goal is to run javac "C:UsersAdrian $ProjectFile.java" command or similar using escaped path to File.java.

          • @Adrian the root cause is your paths containing a space. Since I'm not a windows batch expert nor I have access to windows command prompt I can't really help, sorry. Your goal is to run javac "C:UsersAdrian $ProjectFile.java" command or similar using escaped path to File.java.

          Since your paths contain space they has to be quoted. You can do it by iterating over sources.txt in a loop and quoting the entire line:



          FOR /F %%i IN (sources.txt) DO "javac %%i"


          or you can try dir /x to generate sources.txt with a short path as per dir docs




          /x



          Displays the short names generated for non-8dot3 file names. The display is the same as the display for /n, but the short name is inserted before the long name.




          One way or another, scripting in Windows Batch sux.

A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy...
