Just to be picky processes don't "return" text. The closest thing a process has to a return value is its exit code, which you cannot obtain until it has exited, which is how function return values work also.

As for getting the output from a process, I suggest that you read the help topic for the ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput property, which explains the process and provides a code example. Gigemboy has also provided a code example in the VB.NET CodeBank forum.
