I'm trying to write the output of the command window to a file, I can get the output correctly, and display it using console. However, it doesn't seem to get logged into the file that I want to write to?
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(CopyingLocation, true))
{
Process cmd = new Process();
cmd.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
cmd.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
cmd.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
cmd.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
cmd.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
cmd.Start();
string strCmdText = "Some Command";
string cmdtwo = "Some Other Command";
cmd.StandardInput.WriteLine(cmdtwo);
cmd.StandardInput.WriteLine(strCmdText);
cmd.StandardInput.Flush();
cmd.StandardInput.Close();
//Writes Output of the command window to the console properly
Console.WriteLine(cmd.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
//Doesn't write the output of the command window to a file
sw.WriteLine(cmd.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
}
When you call ReadToEnd()
it will read everything and all the output has been consumed. You can't call it again.
You have to store the output in a variable and output that to the console and write to a file.
string result = cmd.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
Console.WriteLine(result);
sw.WriteLine(result);
