Redirecting STDIN and STDOUT

hi,

I have some problem with redirecting input and output from a process. I can
only use VB language (sorry...)

Situation:
I have to use the Cisco Network Registrar (DNS And DHCP server) command
line utility as redirecting its input and output so I can interact with this
one. This utility is similar to ftp under a win32 console. It proposes its
own prompt after launching it.

What I want to do is:

- input some command (normally I have to write into the input stream)
- then get the response from the output stream.

This operations sequence must be repeated more than one time

I create a process with the right parameter such as useshell=false and
redirect in,out,err =true and app name =cmd.exe
(when I use directly app=<utility> it does not work)

when I write the command into the InputStream, I go a correct response into
the response stream but incomplete. In fact, there is one or more streams
behind the first one. You can get these streams if you pass in addition to
the peek function.
Then, after gathering the last stream the application freeze !

I already seek for code to achieve my goal but all code I've found doesn't
work for my situation
Code tested : VB.Net, VB and API, C/C++
How can I solve my problem, can anyone help me!

After many and many hours searching, I despair
Thanks a lot!

Hi, I have Python embedded with my other code, and when my other code opens a console and redirects stdout, stdin and stderr to it, then calls PyRun_InteractiveLoop, it immediately returns with an EOF. After some debugging the reason for this appears to be that the stdin and stdout that the ReadLine function in the tokeniser include are not affected by my redirection and refer to a non-terminal so don't stall waiting for input from my...

Hello! My application has to use external native library writing to stdout and stdin. My goal is to redirect output within running process (no chance to do that in child process - Process class redirection is useless in that case) and I would like to do it without reverting to C-run time library P/Invoke calls. Any ideas how to do that?

I am trying to test a function that outputs text to the standard output, presumably using a cout call. I do not have access to the source, but need to test the output. Is this possible?

Is there a way for force an output...

Hello Everyone, I am currently working on writing a GUI wrapper for a Menu driven DOS Program. What I was looking on doing is redirecting stdout/stdin to a stream and read/write similar to a file. My issue is that I try to read from the stdout stream and never get anything only if the program has exited. Is there a way of reading the redirected stdout from a DOS program in say real time? I have tried the async (BeginOutputReadLine) and...

Hi I want a simple way to interactively remote debug a running python script which has no tty terminal attached to it. The scripts are running standalone (i.e. they are automatically started and have no terminal) and very infrequently come into error conditions which i want to understand and debug. The idea is that I do the debugging as shown below. Is that a good way of solving my problem? Do I need anything special

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
