Command Line (console) Program With Parameters For SharePoint?
Oct 29, 2009
I would like to create a console program in VB.net that would allow parameters. What i would like to do is in the code below add parameters so the webpart page can be created from the Run menu. e.g. C:.......MyProgram.exe "Design" --This would then create the Design webpart page.
I tried looking at the internet but was not very successfull.
Module Main
Public Sub Main(ByVal args As String())
Dim prj As String
I am passing some comma separated parameters to console Application. I want to split those string for that I have written below script but it is giving error .
I'm Trying to write a Cisco Command Line Parser to have an automated Graphical User Interface replacement for the Cisco console output. I have been able to get the ping time using Regular Expressions from a ping output and graph it, but am now stuck with more detailed out put of other commands like "Show interfaces" command, how I can parse the Show Interface command output and extract all the useful info which i need?
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.
I am working in VB. I have a fairly long and detailed explanation that I'll avoid posting but what I'm looking to find is quite simple. I'm looking for information how the command line executable LAME.EXE (the Mp3 encoder) returns information to the host program/form.
I am a VB novice and a novice to programming in general and am looking to learn more about as much as I can on the whole but basically I have a Windows form that gathers all the necessary information as a front-end:
The input .wav file path The output .mp3 file destination
The encode settings (bitrate, frequency, etc)This information is pooled in to a string like this: lame.exe -v -b 112 input.wav output.mp3 or any variant on the settings selected in the GUI which is then in turn used to execute LAME.EXE with the set of parameters in a command line console...That's all well and good and it is quite functional but what I'm looking to do is to 'hide' the console in itself and have the encoder feed back its progress, say as a percentage inside the GUI.
The problem is that it doesn't appear that LAME in itself has this kind of functionality explicitly built in. I know it's possible however, as every single front end in the world has this functionality.I have tried a few ways of doing this with avoiding the issue of not being able to find the functionality within the codec. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place entirely or I'm not thinking correctly 'outside the box' as it were.
what I'm looking for is to use a command like this within the script itself: lame(v,b,112,"C:input.wav","c:output.mp3") or even pass the parameters obtained from the GUI a string formatted dynamically on the fly itself.I expect of course that this kind of functionality won't be available anywhere at all, what I'm really looking for as a workaround that reports the actions/progress/console output of the executable back in to the VB program somehow.
I am trying to execute a command line EXE (busobj.exe) with required parameters through VB.Net. Because of unknown reason the report is not being generated. Here's the commandline:
I 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.
Dim IncomingCommand As String = e.CommandLine.Item(0).ToString
If IncomingCommand.Substring(0, 2) = "-1" Then
form1.close()
End If
End If
I am trying to make the program close if the -1 string is sent with the program. See my installer allows for me to run certain programs before it actually installs, but it doesn't shut down copies of the program itself. So I have a next startup instance set to shut the program down if the -1 is received. But if the program is not running it starts up instead. This is not desired. form1.close doesn't work. e.cancel = true doesn't work, etc etc. What can I do to make the program not start during this instance.
This is going to be a lot to ask, but I'd like to convert my old GW-BASIC program to a command line program with arguments. I'd like it to operate as follows:
elapse [drive:][path]filename This is my old code.
5 CLS 10 OPEN "G:Calc.txt" FOR INPUT AS #1 20 WHILE NOT EOF(1): INPUT #1, A$, B$ 30 IF MID$(A$,3,1)=":" THEN C$="DOUBLE DIGIT":GOTO 50 40 IF MID$(A$,2,1)=":" THEN C$="SINGLE DIGIT":GOTO 120
I'm a bioinformaticist, I'm trying to teach myself how to develop programs that are easy for everyday users to automate programs used in biological research. I thought VB would be great for helping people be more familiar with bioinformatics. Unfortunately, I'm brand new to VB and am stuck with my first program.
All I want to do is have a window pop up where the user then selects a file from an OpenFileDialog box, and pass the filename to a bioinformatics program names msconvert. What I've been doing keeps giving me a message that seems to says, "Unhandled exception has occurreed in your application. . . . File not found."
However, as you can see in my code (below) I have a MsgBox that shows that the correct file HAS been selected, and I can get the whole thing to run from command line.[code]....
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 Me.Close()
i want to know how to get the command line arguements inside the vb program aka parameters that you specify while running a vb program through a shortcut by specifying a parameter ??for ex: "c:myfile.exe -parameter1 -parameter2 -etc".
I have been trying to fix this and make this work for pretty much three days now. I already solved one problem being, I can't use the shell on one HDD and create another file onto a different drive other then the drive that the directory of the application is running in.
EX:
If I run a program that is on the C: drive and using a working directory that is on the C: drive, I can not create a file onto the F: drive.
I got this problem when I was just using Shell(Environ$("Comspec") & " /c then the command")
So I decided to use Process()
Dim p = New Process() p.StartInfo.FileName = "F:Visual Basic ProjectsCode TestingCode TestinginDebugToolsMediaInfoMediaInfo.exe"
I'm writing a program in vb.net. The program can be started from another program by passing some arguments or it can be lauched by clicking .exe. I'd like to show the user some options depending on where he is coming.Is the below approach correct? [code]
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 was thinking of adding a simple bandwidth monitor to a console application and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a line in the console window visible at all times. I could set something up manually to pass new console output into a method that would get the contents of the console, clear the console, add the bandwidth data on the first row, then rewrite each line of previous information back to the console, etc.. but that seems like a really hacky way to go about it, and I'd be limited to the amount of rows visible at once in the console window (no scrolling).

The code in question is in place, and it works. The project is all but wrapping up. That being said, I would love to find a better way to run this section of code in an x64 system so I have the solution ready for future projects. What I currently have in place is as follows:
Function TimeDelay(vDelay) Dim vTimmer, vTargetTime
vTimmer = TimeValue(Now)
[CODE]...
Now I know the easy way to achieve my goal would be to use the timer object in Visual Studio. The problem I ran into is I was developing an automated command line program. As such there was nothing I could attach the timer to (that I'm aware of). I just needed to pause the program for a few seconds to allow the DTSX package (SSIS file if you're not familiar) to load the file before I remove it from the staging folder.
While I was doing research for this issue I came across the old Sleep() function (referenced to a library in kernel32 as I understand it...never used this before either). When I tried to use this on my current system (64-bit system) I received stack overflow errors. Additional research lead to something called wow64, but I did not have enough time to fully research what this is / how to use it.
I am trying to create a program that downloads audio files via FTP, converts the audio to mp2 if necessary and copies them to a certain directory for consumption by our automation system. (I am a radio station engineer.)I am using the open source converter FFMpeg to convert audio files to mp2. This is a command line exectuted program. Here is the command line that I use to execute the external program with the input and output audio files at the root level: cmd.exe /k ""C:New Folderffmpeg.exe" -i "C:Test.mp3" -y "C:Test.mp2"" This command line works correctly whether I am using Shell() or System.Diagnostics.Process (Process) to execute the external program. I am going the Process route so I can know when the conversion has finished.Now, I really don't want to use the root directory for this but when I go below root with this line using Process the external program will not execute:[code]Can anyone tell me why that line will not work with Process though it works as expected with Shell()? I can't figure out how to stop the external program to get some feedback as to what its problem is.
I have this code to update my SQL database from data in a textbox, in VB. I need to use parameters in case the text contains a tic mark ,', or a quote ,", etc.[code]...
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 am trying to send a command to a command line and then submit the command. I have been trying without success to get this to work in v2008 Express and v2010 Express, Here is the code I am trying to us:
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" ( _ ByVal lpClassName As String, _ ByVal lpWindowName As String _
I cant seem to find a solution on how to pass parameters to another exe like adding some parameters after path in shortcut, and then launching that shortcut, only I want to do it directly without making shortcuts. So ,how would I pass parameters needed to start another exe (console in my case)?
I am trying to upload file to sharepoint. Authorization works fine, but it ends up with status OK instead of CREATED. Eventually the file is not created. I do not understand why it's happening since I used approach that seems to work for others (no complaints).[code]...
