    Default java cant find my files

    Hi everyone .I am new to java programming and i have big problem.When i try to compile something cmd "says" "NAME OF FOLDER" is not recognized as an internal or external comand,operable program or batch file.

    I put path variable C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_67\bin; that you do not ask that.

    When i type java -version or javac -version it show me that, so my variable is ok....
    But when i try run something else it is not working it show me error "NAME OF FOLDER" is not recognized as an internal or external comand,operable program or batch file. I use win 7 64 bit professional . I think that windows is make this error.Ihave Linux ubuntu too,should i maybe try programing in linux, beacuse i will freak out.I will be greatefull to everyone who try help.

    Copy the full contents of the command prompt window and paste it here showing what you entered and what the OS said.

    To copy the contents of the command prompt window:
    Click on Icon in upper left corner
    Select Edit
    Select 'Select All' - The selection will show
    Click in upper left again
    Select Edit and click 'Copy'

    Paste here.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    The command to compile:

    javac TestTax.java

    The command to run:

    java TestTax

    Try those and let us know what happens.

    Oh, oh, oh.

    Are you trying to compile and run source code written in Eclipse from the command line? If so, the source files are in the \src subdirectory, so the command to compile should target the source code in that directory. You can confirm this by using your explorer to review Eclipse's directory structure.

    Then you appear to be typing the path as a command and the Windows command interpreter doesn't understand what you're doing. You could move to the desired directory first, as in (make sure I've typed the path correctly):

    cd c:\PracticalJava\workspace\Lesson9\bin

    or

    cd c:\PracticalJava\workspace\Lesson9\src

    and then when AT THAT DIRECTORY, type

    javac TestTax.java

    The whole command WITHOUT changing directories would be:

    javac c:\PracticalJava\workspace\Lesson9\src\TestTax.jav a

    Again, make sure my typing of the path is correct.
