I had a script that i should call with command line interface, then other tasks that should be done after that.
I used the Process and ProcessStartInfo as below, but the problem i had is that the script was taking some time, and the program execution was failing after that since the script is not finished yet.
using (Process process = new Process())
{
var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd")
{
RedirectStandardInput = true,
RedirectStandardOutput = true,
WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal,
UseShellExecute = false,
CreateNoWindow = false
};
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.OutputDataReceived += (sender, e) => Console.WriteLine(e.Data);
process.Start();
process.StandardInput.Write("script"+ process.StandardInput.NewLine);
process.Close();
}
I wanted to make sure that the program execution waits till the script finishes.So instead of using Close method, i added WaitForExit, and i am manually sending exit command to the command line after the script finishes, like below
using (Process process = new Process())
{
var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd")
{
RedirectStandardInput = true,
RedirectStandardOutput = true,
WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal,
UseShellExecute = false,
CreateNoWindow = false
};
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.OutputDataReceived += (sender, e) => Console.WriteLine(e.Data);
process.Start();
process.StandardInput.Write("script"+ process.StandardInput.NewLine);
process.StandardInput.Write("exit" + process.StandardInput.NewLine);
process.WaitForExit();
}
This worked for me and the program execution waited till the script finishes.
