[2008] creating command line proggy. paging help

[masfenix]

Hey guys, thought it would be a good idea on creating a command line for WMI.

for example, i got this working:

myexe /p [outputs a whole bunch of information on the processor]

but the thing is that its too much information for it to fit on one page so i have to scroll up to view information. view screenshot!

so what I want to do is create some sort of paging ability. What I mean by that is, when you go Command or Dos, and execute a command (lets say dir to display a list of directories).. it shows a whole bunch of them.

but if you want to view them page by page so they dont auto scroll, you can try dir /p which pages them. (go and try in on the windows directory :P)

so how can i implement it using my argument of -p ?

If I am still confusing, please view this screenshot. this is exactly how I want it

My subroutines are rather simple. here's an example of one:

  Sub FullDiskInfo()
        Try
            Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk")

            For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In searcher.Get()
                For Each q In queryObj.Properties
                    If options.Contains("t") Then
                        If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(q.Value) Then
                            Console.Write(q.Name & ": ")
                            Console.WriteLine(q.Value)
                        End If
                    Else
                        Console.Write(q.Name & ": ")
                        Console.WriteLine(q.Value)
                    End If
                   
                Next
            Next
        Catch ex As ManagementException
            Console.WriteLine("An error occured while in communication with the system")
        End Try
    End Sub

Have a counter that counts how many times you write a line, then find a good fixed number that doesn't go beyond the edge of the standard console size, and when the counter is equal to that max value, do a ReadLine("Press any key to continue"), and reset the counter.
