Right, I am creating a Java Front end for use with Sun's JDK in VB, and I am having trouble getting debug info from the dos window.
First of all, I am creating a Batch file and shelling it to compile the java source file.
The following is the code i am using to create and execute the batch file.
[CODE]
'First create a bat file to compile the java source file.
Open "C:\Compiler.bat" For Output As #1
Print #1, "@echo off"
Print #1, "echo Now attempting to compile C:\HelloAgainApplet.java using Java Compiler..."
Print #1, "C:\jdk1.3\bin\javac.exe C:\Hello.java > C:\~Results.txt" 'Get the data in a text file
Close #1
h = Shell("C:\Command.com /c C:\Compiler.bat", vbHide)
'Wait 5 seconds for DOS window to finish
tTimeout = Timer
While (Timer - tTimeout) < 5
DoEvents
Wend
If Len(Dir("C:\~Results.txt")) Then
iFile = FreeFile
Open "C:\~Results.txt" For Input As iFile
rtfMain.Text = Input(LOF(iFile), iFile)
Close iFile
Else
rtfMain.Text = "Operation Timed Out."
End If
Now, usually with DOS based programs you can use the '>' character to port the data from the program into a text file, for example:
Now, I have the code for getting the debug info from a text file that is created, but the problem is that the Java Compiler (Javac.exe) isnt giving any info away when i want it to port to a file! Bah.Code:C:\Windows\Netstat.exe -a > C:\Netstat.log
I've looked all over Sun's Web Site for more information on this, but i cant find any info. If you can offer any help or links on where to find information about getting around this then please post. Thanks.
Later
