How I can execute a Batch Command in C# directly?

Question

I want to execute a batch command and save the output in a string, but I can only execute the file and am not able to save the content in a string.

Batch file:

Answer 1

It doesn't look to me like your batch file will produce any output. If you run it in the command line, do you see an output? You have the redirection > operator in your bat file line, so it seems like you're sending output to the xml file.

If you have saved the output to an xml file, maybe you should just load that using C# once your process exits.

Answer 2

Don't need to use "CMD.exe" for execute a commandline application or retreive the output, you can use "lmxendutil.exe" directly.

Try this:

processInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
processInfo.FileName  = "C:\\lmxendutil.exe";
processInfo.Arguments = "-licstatxml -host serv005 -port 6200";
//etc...

Do your modifications to use "command" there.

I hope this helps.
