Hello Everyone,
I am attempting to run a java file on eclipse.
The file consists of the following:

String inputFile = args[0];
String outputFile = args[1];

I am using the run-> run configuration
Here in the arguments tab ,how do we specify the paths to both input and output file?
Would it be fine if I specify the absolute paths of both input filename and output filename with a space in between?

Instead of asking, why don't you just try? Yes, the command line processor will split arguments at white-space boundaries. If you need an argument that contains a space, you can put "" around that argument. If you need a " in the argument value, you can use \".
