StandardOutput Redirect problem.

I have a perl script that I am calling from vb.net as a process. I need to get the standard
output and display it in a text box. The problem I am having is that extra blank lines are
being added to the standard output, 2 of them per line. I have no idea why - and if I
run the same script in the command line the output is normal (no extra 2 lines per line).
Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Dim MyProcess As New Process
MyProcess.Start Info.UseShellEx ecute = False
'redirect the standard output
MyProcess.Start Info.RedirectSt andardOutput = True
'do not create a command window
MyProcess.Start Info.CreateNoWi ndow = True
'set the file name
MyProcess.Start Info.FileName = "c:\perl\bin\pe rl.exe"
MyProcess.Start Info.Arguments = "e:\test_templa te.pl"

'start the process
MyProcess.Start ()

'grab the contents of the standard output
Dim srOut As StreamReader = MyProcess.Stand ardOutput

Dim sOut As String = srOut.ReadToEnd

txtText = sOut

'wait until the program exits
MyProcess.WaitF orExit()

I've recently discovered the value of using existing console applications in managed .net apps. Unfortunately, I've stumbled into a problem with a particular console application that check's crc info on CDs. Using either the StandardError or StandardOutput streams read, readline or peek methods causes an immediate block that doesn't release until the console app finishes it's business. I want to launch this console app and update my UI to...

I'm trying to create a GUI wrapper for dumpbin, and so I'm using the Process class to run the command-line application. The problem is that if I use Readline() to get the output from the commandline app, it will hang when it comes to the command-prompt (there's no return to send it to readline). Here's the code: public bool RunCommands(string cmds, ArrayList files) {

If I redirect the console output using the standard method, it works fine if the process outputs all its information and then exits quite soon. But for processes that output information as they are processing, for instance osql.exe when processing a large job, it doesn't seem that any of the read methods on StandardOutput are able to get the output before the process has exited Is this normal behaviour, and how can I get around it to put the...

How can redirect the standard output to a file from inside the same process. It can be easily done if one process launches another process with startinfo.RedirectStandardOutput to true. Process p = new Process();

Hi, all, I started an application by using process and wanted to redirect the output to a textbox in VB .Net. I used newprocess.standoutput.readline since I wanted the display to be timely . The problem I am experiencing with readline is I cannot redirect the entire output. What actually happends is if there is an empty line between the output, only the part before the empty the line can be redirected, and the rest will be redirected later when...

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,...
