Run Command Prompt Commands

Question

Is there any way to run command prompt commands from within a C# application? If so how would I do the following:

copy /b Image1.jpg + Archive.rar Image2.jp         


        

Answer 1

You can achieve this by using the following method (as mentioned in other answers):

strCmdText = "'/C some command";
Process.Start("CMD.exe", strCmdText);

When I tried the methods listed above I found that my custom command did not work using the syntax of some of the answers above.

I found out more complex commands need to be encapsulated in quotes to work:

string strCmdText;
strCmdText = "'/C cd " + path + " && composer update && composer install -o'";
Process.Start("CMD.exe", strCmdText);
