call cmd processes and keeping them cmd window

Expand Post »

I've been able to call a cmd process to run a batch file. It runs but I have no idea what it does bec' the window opens and closes too fast. I've used .WaitForExit(), but it doesn't help. I've been looking for more help and can find anything specific. I can't tell if my batch file runs or not and where the output redirects too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: call cmd processes and keeping them cmd window

You remind me with graduation project days

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
public void GenerateKeyFile(string command)
        {
            ProcessStartInfo PSI = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe");
            PSI.RedirectStandardInput = true;
            PSI.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
            PSI.RedirectStandardError = true;
            PSI.UseShellExecute = false;
            Process p = Process.Start(PSI);
            System.IO.StreamWriter SW = p.StandardInput;
            System.IO.StreamReader SR = p.StandardOutput;
            SW.WriteLine(command);
            SW.Close();
        }
public void GenerateKeyFile(string command)
        {
            ProcessStartInfo PSI = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe");
            PSI.RedirectStandardInput = true;
            PSI.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
            PSI.RedirectStandardError = true;
            PSI.UseShellExecute = false;
            Process p = Process.Start(PSI);
            System.IO.StreamWriter SW = p.StandardInput;
            System.IO.StreamReader SR = p.StandardOutput;
            SW.WriteLine(command);
            SW.Close();
        }

Re: call cmd processes and keeping them cmd window

ok, quick and dirty, to be removed before building release - used to help me in my student years. Last line of code is :
Console.ReadLine();

that will wait until you kill the console.
