View 3 RepliesI have a program that runs a command line and retrieves the output, but the output I receive is unorganized and run-on. Since 3 processes are being run, I'd like each process results to be listed on a different line.
Here is the code:

Dim arg As String = "/c net localgroup hglocal-" & viewteam & "-gold"
Dim arg2 As String = "/c net localgroup hglocal-" & viewteam & "-rw"

I have 2 VB programs that I would like to communicate with each other, but I want them to be separate EXEs. Anyway, the easiest way I figured would be for me to call the one program from the other and then return a result. How do I get this result into another program?
Here is how I want it to work:
1. Start System Information Program (easy)
2. Call a video test program, and send a couple arguments (see below)
3. Receive arguments from the video test (I do not know how to do this, I do not know how to send from the video test or receive from the system information)
I'm making a program that has to execute commands in cmd.exe, but without actually opening it. I set RedirectStandardOutput to True, and I need a way to read the result of the command from the stream. Right now, I use ReadToEnd(), but there's no end to the stream, apparently. How do I read the result of the command?[code]...

View 3 RepliesHey Overflow, I have an application which serves as a user interface for a spartan/command line program.
I have the program running on a separate process, and my application monitors it to see if it is responding and how mush CPU it is utilising.
Now I have a list of files in my program (listbox) which are to be sent to the application, which happens fine. But I want to be able to read text from the com-line so as to determine when the first file has been processed.
Com-line says one of "selecting settings", "unsupported format" and "cannot be fixed". What I want to be able to do is when it says one of these three things, remove item(0) in listbox1.
I thought of programming an event which handles com_exe.print or something or other, if possible.
what i need to do is open a txt file, read line by line, decode each line into an array and display. Now all works ok apart from one line.
sTextLine = objReader.ReadLine() <-- Value of string cannot be converted.

Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(sOpenFile.Text)
Dim sTextLine As New ArrayList()
Dim sText As String = ""

I have beginner skills using VB (am using the Express edition to learn). I would like to know how to set up a conditional statement in a Windows Form (WF) app that would check if a specific command line has been passed by another separate app that launchesthe Windows Form app using command lines, and if not passed, then the Windows Form app would shut down (exit, close).So far, I can use:
For Each s As String In My.Application.CommandLineArgs
If s <> "xyz" Then

under the code I pasted at the top, but I get the text on line1 in all labels, like all labels become 1, while the text should be 1, 2, 3 and so on. So anyone can help me do that, each label gets the value of the next line in the txt file
We need to start implementing verbose runtime output to assist with debugging on end users machines. If the executable is launched with a particular parameter, we need this to kick in. This is not necessarily "error" logging, but runtime logging to see exactly which lines of code have been executed. We literally have to add an output line after each line of code in every function. Without question, this is extremely tedious.
I was hoping there might be a better way at doing this, such as possibly using reflection at runtime to somehow output which line of code in which module just completed.
First off, i'm still rather new to Vb.Net but am enjoying learning it, I have this code to run a shutdown:
'// Thread Process for Shutdown Process
Private Sub BackgroundProcess() If System.IO.File.Exists(dbfile) = True Then
Try Dim shutdownCount As Integer
[Code]...
It runs ok. Currently it looks through a number of computer names and shuts them down. But sometimes it can take up to a minute for anything to be returned by command line if for example a computer is switched off. So what i'm trying to do is get it so it doesn't continue the loop UNTIL there has been something returned by command line. Some maybe to do with While p.HasExited or something? Is this possible?
First let me say that I am not sure whether or not this should go in this section or the API section, and if it needs to be moved I apologize. My issue is fairly straight forward, but for some reason I cannot get it to work.

I'm making a program that can take arguments and run cmd line style. I'm trying to think of a good way to sort and check the arguments. I currently split the arguments into an array and use a loop to assign them to variables.[code]That works but would seriously mess up if someone left out anything. I want to know if anyone has any tips on how to parse the incoming arguments. I always like making my scripts idiot proof, cause at times i mess stuff up.

View 4 RepliesI need to parse a log file from some information provided via an external command line application. The problem is that the command line app doesn't produce its on logs. So, I was wondering how I might be able to obtain the information form the command line. The only thing I could think of was to redirect the output to a TextBox, write it to a text file and then parse the data. Does anyone know of any other to do this?

I use a single instance in my application. What if I give command line arguments to the exe of my program, so I can be selective in what was given command line in my program, but still single instance?
Example:
test.exe /show
When the command /show, then my program will
Form2.Show
Form2.BringToFront
I've done it before, so I'm getting a little frustrated on how to get this to work exactly I need to send some arguments to a command line window and I thought I did it this way:

I 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 am trying to send a command to the external command line (cmd.exe) from the Windows form application that I'm writing in VB.NET (using VS2008).
I can only access the external program thru the command line (its not my program) and I must do so from a form app.

Using mp As New Process

I plan on including some functions to submit the node entry and the resulting serial number to a database in the future for archiving as well.
View 4 RepliesI am using a CheckedListBox that is populated with Filenames (full path, i.e. C:TestTest.jpg)When I have the files that I want in the CheckedListBox I wish to click a Start Button which will process the list one at a time using an exe program that runs on the Command Line. There are arguments that need to pass to the command line as well as the file location in order for the program to process.I currently have it working but the issue is the loop finishes quickly and it is left up to the CMD.exe to finish the process. What I would like is for the LOOP to wait until each file completes processing before passing the command for the next file in the CheckedListBox.There some reasons I wish for it to work this way.
1) I would like to have a button that can Pause/Restart the Loop.
2) I would like to have a button that can Stop the Loop so the whole process can end.
3) I would like to have the Loop remove each file one by one from the CheckedListBox after it has been processed.
4) I would like to display a Message once all the files have been processed.
5) And if it were possible I would like to report the status either by text or a progress bar showing where it is at in the process.
6) And the ability to add some error handling if possible.
Since the Loop finishes so quickly as it just passes the command to the command line using the & as a seperator it is the command line that is handling the rest of the process. Because of this there is not control over it in the GUI.The code I am using allows the Command Line text to display in the Form so it won't open up a seperate window to run CMD.exe. This is the desired affect as I would like everything to appear to run from within the Form itself.
