Read From Command / DOS Window
Jul 30, 2009I'm looking to read from a command prompt window so I can redirect the output to my project. I've looked all over the net and the only codes that I've seen don't work in VB 2008.

View 1 RepliesI am using the following code to run defrag and to analyze if the C: drive requires defragmentation:
Dim analyze As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32defrag.exe", "C: /a /h /u /v")
This process runs through analyzing, runs it in normal mode & prints the progress to the command window.
My problem is that as soon as the process is complete the command window closes. I need it to stay open so that I can read the results.

I have this in a VB.NET console application:
Dim p As ProcessStartInfo
p = New ProcessStartInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory & "injavac.exe",ClassName & ".java")
Dim ps As Process = Process.Start(p)
This does run the java compiler on the file, but it does so in a new window. I want the output from javac to appear in the same console that is running my application. How can I do this? Perhaps there is another method for running commands in the current console? Or maybe I can supress the second console window from opening and redirect its output to the current console?

View 2 RepliesI have both the VB and C# versions of Visual Studio 2008 Express. When I run a console application in either version, instead of the console opening in an old DOS style command window like it does in VS 2005, it actually blacks out both monitors attached to my computer and treats the entire screen real estate as the console.Anyone know how to get the app to run in a small command-type window when I run it? It's like the console is running Full Screen. If I set a break point, switch from the IDE t the console and then hit Alt+Enter it switches to the small window that I want, but I still can't figure out how to make the app start with the console that way.I could post a screenshot but it would look like a big black square...no window, no frame, just the inky blackness of frustration.

View 2 RepliesI have made an application that requires executing an external command prompt application, and I need to be able to read the result from its completion of each file it processes.
The external application works by specifying an input directory, it then scans for a series of compatible files and then converts them all one by one in a single command. I need to be able to read each line it writes and provide the appropriate feedback in my application. It would be nice if i could hide the window it creates too. Code I have tried working from:
Code:
Private Sub btnRead_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRead.Click

I have a datareader pulling data from Oracle. It all works fine but I have one issue. When I issue the read() command ala;
While dr.Read
Column1List.Add(dr.GetValue(0).ToString().Replace(vbCrLf, ""))
Column2List.Add(dr.GetValue(1).ToString().Replace(vbCrLf, ""))
[Code]....
When the code hits that " While dr.Read" line it will hang there for up to 30 minutes which is just a ridiculous amount of time to advance to the next record, which is what the documentation says is all that is happening here. It only occurs the first time it hits that line...once it gets past it once, it does not hang again as it goes through it's while loop.
Just wondering if there is anyway to read each line of text that is output from a console application?
Basically I want to use PSEXEC through a vb.net GUI application and I would like to be able to read any error codes that may occur from the command line.
