[RESOLVED] [2008] Displaying what a program outputs

[formlesstree4]

There is a command line program that I asked about how to make it execute stuff through vb.net

Well, this same program spits out text on the cmd prompt it is executed on. Is there a way vb.net can capture this text and display it?

Here's a simpler way to ask this. This program will show its results in a command prompt, but the command prompt disappears when it is done. Is there a way vb.net can get the text it shows before it disappears and write it to a text file?

If you are starting the process, you can redirect the standard output to a stream and then capture that stream.


Look into the ProcessStartInfo object to enable redirection.

you can redirect the output from a command line program using VB.NET.

Here is a sample article
