Kernel32.INSTANCE.CreateProcess return as String

Here is my code from the jna sample i am try using native code to run cmd command

boolean status = Kernel32.INSTANCE.CreateProcess(
                    null,
                    "cmd.exe /c echo here is output",
                    null,
                    null,
                    true,
                    new WinDef.DWORD(0),
                    Pointer.NULL,
                    System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"),
                    startupInfo,
                    processInformation);

When i run the code i got this in the Compiler

here is output

Is any way to store the Above Output in a string value

  • You're going to have a much easier time doing this with Apache Commons Exec with the code from How can I capture the output of a command as a String with Commons Exec?

    If you need to specifically use JNA for some reason, you can use what @KompjoeFriek posted -- how to get the process output when using jna and CreateProcessW
