Writing to temporary files sometimes fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It seems that using some "version" of Windows 8 the redirect of command 
executions to temporary files produces empty files (I also tried to increase 
the value of WAIT_FOR_FILE). I find it difficult to discover which "version" 
causes the problem. Have you ever noticed that problem?

Wouldn't it be better not to write to the disk when you can work with in-memory 
data?

I'd suggest to replace all the code

File f = File.createTempFile("regorexp", ".jta");
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command).waitFor();       
_waitForFile(f);
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(f)));


with 


Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
int exitCode = proc.waitFor();
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream()));


Do you think there could be any side effects?


Thanks,
