Re: redicting standard output

No, you just need to read it. I looked at your code from the 19th and
you're still not launching a thread to read from the outputstream.

You need something like this:

Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "MyProg.exe";
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute=false;

if(p.Start())
{
ManualResetEvent readerEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false);
StreamPoller errorPoller = new
StreamPoller(readerEvent,p.StandardOutput);
Thread outputThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(outputPoller.Poll));
outputThread.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
readerEvent.Set();
...
}

public class StreamPoller
{

ManualResetEvent _readEvent;
StreamReader _reader;

public StreamPoller(ManualResetEvent readEvent,StreamReader reader)
{
_readEvent = readEvent;
_reader = reader;

}

public void Poll()
{

while(true)
{
if(_readEvent.WaitOne(1,true))
{
break;
}
//do whatever you want here with the redirected stdout
Console.Writeline(_reader.ReadLine());
}
}
}

.
