Standard Input & Output in .NET

Hello All,

How can I read from standard input and write to standard output. System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta ndardInput's MSDN reference didn't help as it separately starts the process and then redirects the Standard Input/Output but what If the process is already running and called my Application to feed it some data. Here's an example to make things a bit clear:

I am simply using Unix pipes i.e. cat command in cygwin (A Linux like Environment for windows) that basically just reads standard input and print to standard output. following is the command:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. % cat input/sample.txt | src/csharp/maptest
But that doesn't seems to work.

If some one know ruby here as i don't here's what i want to do the same in C#:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. !/usr/bin/env ruby
  2.  
  3. STDIN.each_line do |line| some code here end
And here's some python equivalent code that i want to accomplish in c# or vb.net:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. !/usr/bin/env python
  2.  
  3. import re import sys
  4.  
  5. for line in sys.stdin: val = line.strip()
Any solutions?

Thanks in advance.

I'm going nuts trying to port an application from Linux to Windows. We have a python/Tkinter script which runs a C++ application. It starts it with popen4 and communicates through the two pipes. It reads text output from stdout until a prompt appears, then sends commands through stdin. On Windows it seems to get all tangled up in the buffering of the two streams. When the script just reads stdout, it seems to be OK. As soon as the...

I'm writing a console app (in C#) and I want to be able to redirect the standard input/output streams when it's run at a command prompt. IOW I want to support the "<" and ">" redirection syntax. The obvious way to do this is by using the static Console type properties, In and Out. When trying to debug the app in the IDE however, this doesn't appear to work. I've edited the project properties and added the necessary text to the "command...

Hi, I would like to do this in VB Languague. I have an executable file in DOS mode. This executable returns informations and display them to the DOS window. Unfortunately, I have to process theses informations. The way to do that, is to redirect standard input and output, insn't it ? This is possible in C++ language, but I cannot make any line in this language.

Hello, I am writing some code in the scenario which can be described as follow: + program A which writes to standard output (e.g. cout >> whatever). + program B which has GUI and also listens to the standart input regularly (using a timer) if there is no input, it returns to the GUI and does something else. What I expect is B should work without problem in both cases: (1) user@host $ A | B (2) user@host $ B In B's code, I tried...

Hello Sorry if asking a known question. I have a program that reads lines of text from standard input and writes the non-empty ones back to standard output. In most cases it will be used with standard input and output streams redirected to FS files. If my input is wide-character (UNICODE) I would like to use wcin and wcout and write wide-character text to standard output. If my input is

I have a fully-portable C program (or at least I think I do). It works fine on Windows, but malfunctions on Linux. I suspect that there's something I don't know about the standard input stream that's causing the problem. Here's how I wrote the program originally: #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h>

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
