console and characters

[stonefunker]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem with some Swedish characters.
I'm sending and reading from the command-line, cmd.exe, and I get the output alright when setting the CodePage to 850, Western European (DOS).

The problem is that if I send a string that contains a Swedish character it gets screwed up and cmd.exe can't understand what I mean.

I use this to browse my drives and if I try to cd a directory with a Swedish character in it I get "The system cannot find the path specified." as a response.

Does anyone have an idea on this?

 
private Process proc;
private ProcessStartInfo ps;
 
ps = new ProcessStartInfo();
ps.CreateNoWindow = true;
ps.FileName = "cmd.exe";
ps.UseShellExecute = false;
ps.RedirectStandardInput = true;
ps.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
ps.RedirectStandardError = true;
 
ps.StandardOutputEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(850);
 
proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo = ps;
proc.Start();
 
proc.StandardInput.WriteLine( cmd );
proc.StandardInput.WriteLine("exit");
 
string line  = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
string error = proc.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
 
proc.Close();
