Run a second console app and read its output.
I came accross an interesting email from Bill (WEB1110) in the microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp newsgroup, its all about console output catch. i have changed/modified the example Bill has provided. We will create a C# application that uses another application (console) output. we will fire the ping.exe application with the arg 127.0.0.1 and catch the output to a string.
using System;using System.Diagnostics;namespace ConsoleApplication8{ class Class1 { static void Main(string[] args) { ProcessStartInfo proc = new ProcessStartInfo(); / a process holder */ proc.FileName = "ping.exe"; proc.RedirectStandardInput = false; proc.RedirectStandardOutput = true; proc.Arguments = "127.0.0.1"; proc.UseShellExecute = false; /*do not show console for the process - a must*/ Process p = Process.Start(proc); string res; res = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(); System.Console.WriteLine(res); p.WaitForExit(); /*wait indefinitely for the associated process to exit*/ } } }
this is a neat one!
