Runtime.exec help please

I am trying to use Runtime.exec to run a command and pass it a parameter.

I need it to preserve the spaces in the parameter but cannot get it to work.

E.g

My code says

String cmd = "sh1 xxxx1234";

Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

the sh1 bash shell says

echo '$@' = $@

echo '$1' = $1

echo '$2' = $2

When I run it it displays

$@ = xxxx 1234

$1 = xxxx

$2 = 1234

I want it to pass the code "as is" so as one parameter

So it would display

$@ = xxxx1234

$1 = xxxx1234

$2 =

I could even cope with

$@ = xxxx1234

$1 = xxxx

$2 = 1234

I have tried different variation of single and double quotes without any

success.
