Great thank you it worked, i have one more stopper which i need you to address.

I am trying to execute below program with error in my MAC.

package com.chillyfacts.com;

import java.io.PrintWriter;

public class my_main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String input_file="/usr/local/Cellar/tesseract/PCH app.png";

String output_file="/usr/local/Cellar/pchapp";

String tesseract_install_path="/usr/local/Cellar/tesseract/";

String[] command = { "cmd" };

    Process p;

try {

p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

        new Thread(new SyncPipe(p.getErrorStream(), System.err)).start();

                new Thread(new SyncPipe(p.getInputStream(), System.out)).start();

                PrintWriter stdin = new PrintWriter(p.getOutputStream());

                stdin.println("\""+tesseract_install_path+"\" \""+input_file+"\" \""+output_file+"\" -l eng");

            stdin.close();

                p.waitFor();

                System.out.println();

                System.out.println();

                System.out.println();

                System.out.println();

                System.out.println(Read_File.read_a_file(output_file+".txt"));

    } catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

}

as the error said, it seem there is a path that does not exists in your system

i would suggests to check all your path especially in line 13
