I'm trying to create a program that calls the command prompt, runs a line of text, needs to wait for a specific reply then moves on. Using the sleep command doesn't really apply in this particular situation because I need to wait for either reply A or reply B and move on accordingly. Most of the resources I find on this all refer to the sleep command. Sure there is a way to view a reply in the shell command and if reply A then do the rest...etc.
In the Windows Shell, there is a command that looks like this: copy /b fileA.zip + fileB.jpg fileC.jpg..Is there any equivalent function in VB.NET? I already know this works: [code] But I would much rather have a built-in function to work with. Here is what I am trying to do: url...Also, this doesn't just work for pictures. It works for any binary file. Is there any way in VB.NET to tell if a file is binary or text?
Recently in a couple of my current projects I have found that I have the need to 'schedule' events in my applications. For example, I would like something to happen in my program at 11 PM every day (and no I dont want to use Windows Scheduled Tasks) but I cant think of a good way to do this... The only method I can think of is to just have my app check every minute to see if the current system time is 11 PM but obviously that is pretty rubbish. I considered using Windows WorkFlow but that seems very overkill just to do this one thing...
Oh and if it makes any difference, I would like the user to be able to modify these times that certain events occur.
I need to sort my code to work for Visual Basic 2008 Express Version, I am trying to open the Command Prompt through Visual Basic and make Visual Basic run through the Command Prompt. By this i mean i need Visual Basic to Send Messages from a text box on my design to the command prompt, e.g to make my program go through the command prompt to do the basic hide files in a picture.
I am not a developer but I like tweaking with system, I am recently trying to create an app that can reset admin password, but the problem is that I am not able to run the following command from standard account.
net user user_name * I know it is because of security reason but there must be some way so that software developer can tweak it, can someone guide me..[URl]..
The question is self-explanatory. It would be great if the code was one line long (something to do with "Process.Start("...")"?). I researched the web but only found old examples and such ones that do not work (at least for me). I want to use this in my class library, to run Git commands
Before posting this question I have carried out a few searches on this forum but I am afraid I am struggling because I am very new to Visual Basic and although I do have some programming background, yesterday was day 1 and I took a web tutorial and watched a few video tutorials. (Long way to go!).
OK to the question and I know I should really not ask 2 but It's better to get them both in one post I think.
I want to build a small utility to run a form in full screen to basically hide an old application running in the background.
My old application is a database (Non VB code) which works very well but while it batch exports a lot of data the software displays some pretty ugly windows, I want to call my VB utility from a command prompt with 1 or more switches to display some meaningful text about where it is in the routine.
I also want to be able to send a switch at the end to close it completly.
Q1 - What is the best way to manage command prompt switches ?
Using Vb.net 2003 Sql Server 2005 Asp.net 1.1..If I were to make a forum site and I had alot of visitorsdaily, like 300,000.I also had many categories such as this site.Would it be better to have a Reply table for each category orhave only one Reply table for the whole site.The same for Question table, although the questions would be numerousit would be smaller than the Reply table.Also if anyone has a Database Diagram,or Schema of a large forum I like to take a lookat one have'nt seen any online for a forum.
In the Windows Shell, there is a command that looks like this:copy /b fileA.zip + fileB.jpg fileC.jpgIs there any equivalent function in VB.NET? I already know this works:Shell("cmd copy /b fileA.zip + fileB.jpg fileC.jpg")
I am looking for an easy way to have a command prompt like interface for my form. The idea is to make it an interactive text interface. Here is an example of what it might look like > Hi Hello! > How are you? I am fine! >_So it's very much like a chat. BTW, I am not referring to what the example is, just the concept of a command prompt, that I can create a scrollback buffer for. Very much like a MSDOS prompt.
I have this problem where is wont let me create and files through the command prompt via echo xxx> C:xxx in Visual Basic. If I do it sepoaratly and run the command prompt as admin (This is not using vb at all) then it will work. I have tried putting my vb app to require previlidges at both levels at different times, not at once, and I still got the same thing.So is there a way I can use the comman prompt through vb, but also making the command prompt being an admin without turning off UAC?The code that will not work is this.
I'm working on some coding katas and managed to finish the algorithms and am now coding it?However, I can't seem to get Command Prompt to display the result.
Here's the code.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text;
I would like to create an interface for the command prompt so users here do not have to type in everything. I would probably use a FileOpen dialog to pass paths, etcfor me would be a link to (or small sample code), that does something like register a .dll.
..open the command prompt in the background and register a .dll using the following: "regsvr32 C:WINDOWSsystem32UTA_CTL.dll".
I'm working on a small project that lets me read and write to and from command prompt, i have this code but one line does not work .Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click[code]...
I 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 Dim CMD As New Threading.Thread(AddressOf GETCMD)
When I want to run command prompt or register editor I had this Error message: "The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator" I'm the administrator of the computer how can i re-enable the command prompt and register editor.
In my application I have only one button . That button will open CMD then it will send a command into cmd , now after that command it requires an "enter key" to continue the process .I tried the shell command in order to access the command but then I couldn't press enter in cmd using my application
I am trying to send commands to Command prompt.The following code should open the text file I specified.However it opens several instances of the cmd window and also several copies of the text file. Sometimes the text file is not opened and if the file path is long, part of the file path gets inserted into my text file.[code]
I'm trying to write a program to change my static IP. I am successful in opening a command prompt, sending keystrokes to it, and closing it again. That seems messy, so I want to use stdin.The first block of commented out code is what fails.The second block of commented out code is successful.[code]
I am having a little trouble with my VB.NET program and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction?I have started a cmd.exe process in my vb.net (2008) program however I would like to execute commands for my process (in the same command prompt window created) on the fly. For example (the commands are irrelevant)... on the click of button 1, I would like to carry out the command "cd C:". Once that has finished I'd like to be able to click button 2 which executes "help". (I do not want the commands to execute when the process starts).[code]
