VS 2008 : Process.StartInfo.Arguments With A Collection Of Files?
Sep 19, 2009
I need to pass a file's name as an argument and a switch to the executable I'm using.I'm doing it like this:
vb.net
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-z ""C: est.txt"""
I'll know where the files are that I need to grab, but I won't always know the exact names. So, I thought I could grab a collection of the files, store them in a variable, and then pass them as an argument.I tested it with one file like this:
vb.net
Dim File As New System.IO.FileInfo("C:...Desktop est.txt") Dim proc As New Process proc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "..." proc.StartInfo.FileName = "....exe" proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-z" & File & "additional arugments" proc.Start() proc.WaitForExit()
But, as you all may already know, I can't use the & operator with a string and FileInfo.Would I have to then convert the FileInfo to a string first and then pass it through?

I am running an exe program from VB (Visual Studio 2005). This exe program accepts 3 parameters.I am passing the first parameter as a string and the next 2 as parameters from the Sub. However, the exe program treats all of them as string. I tried to use "&" and "+" between arguments and got the same results.[code]...

I'm trying to write a VB.net utility that launches microsoft word and prints a document then closes the word window. My code works fine:
Dim MyProcess As New Process
MyProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
MyProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "print"
[code]....
The problem is I cannot for the life of me figure out a way to tell Microsoft Word which printer to send the document to. It always goes to the default printer which wont work as I need to be able to programmatically determine the printer to use.

- launch multiple exe command through Process.StartInfo
- don't want the external exe to hang my main UI thread
- need to get feedback from external exe to update progress bar which is placed at main UI thread

I have even tried this with a design Process from the toolbar and set the File, working directory and start info arguments and I get the exact same results. I am not understanding the Argments function or I am doing something wrong and not sending them correctly.

I'm running some command line programs through my app and I have to pass some parameters to the command line app.I'm launching the command line with Start.Process and using StartInfo.Arguments = "".The problem is that some of the parameters require me to pass quotes and when I put quotes into the compiler, it doesn't register it in the way I want it to.

I'm using this code to load multiple files using windows context menu, but the problem is that the aplication is open many times as files the user has selected.For example: If I select 14 files, an open them with the application, the aplicacion is opened 14 times and load the form only one. But there is a way to send all arguments once? Because %1 send only one file, or there is for example a %2 that send all file pats in one argument? If there is I'vent found.
This my actual code:
Public Class Program
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim FurBase As New Core.clsDatabase

I have a program that works when, a file is opened with it using the right click menu in explorer. But if I select multiple files and then right click and open with my program then it opens multiple instances of my program, instead of just passing the multiple files as arguments to a single instance. The program is written in vb.net but is not a windows form, it is just a module, so I can to tick the Single instance option in the properties in Visual Studio.So how do I open multiple files from explorer context menu in a single instance.

I have created football (American) play creator. When the user is satisfied with a play he has created it is saved it as a file with a .play extension. What I want to do is to cycle through all the files in a folder (probably named after the team), and place each one that has the .play extension into a CList (of ClPlay) collection.I have been able to successfully load one play at a time by using this code...
Dim fs As Stream = New FileStream(diaOpenPlay.FileName, FileMode.Open)
Dim bf As Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter = New Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter()
Dim Play As CLPlay
Play = CType(bf.Deserialize(fs), CLPlay)
...but that was when a specific play was selected from a load dialog box. This time I want to load all the plays in a folder and store it in a collection, and I'm not sure how to modify the above code to do that.

I want to read a text file with unlike delimters into a collection.This is what the file looks like:
_Item 4916 0.00 781.21
_Item 2831 0.02 842.25
there are 10029 items and i am trying to get each items description into 3 different collections: Item "names" (first column), Item "weights"(second column), and Item "values"(third column).the delimiters are as follows:
______(3 spaces)____(1 space)____
considering the amount of items in the file, it would be a complete waste of time to edit it.

This is my first time programming with visual basic, but the GUI I'm trying to create isn't complicated. So ,after looking at the tutorial for a bit, I got started.What I'm trying to do is run a c++ program which I created, but I'm making the GUI so that other people can use it easily.The c++ program needs arguments, so I have to text boxes on my GUI that will contain those arguments. One is a file path and another is an integer.I'm trying to run the .exe file for my c++ program with a shell script, but I can't get the syntax right.I don't want anything ecial I just want to run the program and pass it arguments. Here is what I have:I'm trying to use a shell command, as you can see.I can run the program from the visual studio 2008 command prompt by typing "cl DataRedux2.cpp" to compile and "DataRedux2.exe" to run.

I am writing a manager for an app that we use at the office. I have successfully written launching, monitoring, and managing number of instances using the process class.Each file is the data output for one study. Each of the 2-8 instances of the application will run 1000 studies overnight. The fault would be that the file stops growing. I cannot just check for that, because it also stops growing when it done with one study. I need to be able to determine which files are being written by which threads (or vis-versa where i know which files are 'running' and need to see who owns them)?

I have a program that processes files in a special subdirectory and the program processes the files based upon the "Type", i.e., "Text Document". If an application, such as a text editor, installed onto the system, the "Type" may change to suit that application. For example, I recently had one change the type from "TXT File" to "UltraEdit Document (.txt}". Yes, the squirrely brace was on the end, don't know why. Well, after this app was installed, my program found no files of "TXT File" type to process even though the subdirectory was full of filename.txt files.
So, how can I get the code to look at the file extension, not the Type? A few lines of the code are shown:
Private fsFile As Scripting.File
