Read comamnd prompt output and displaying in User Interface

Question

Hey Guys,

Creating a small tool with c# which will fetch the values displayed in the command prompt and display in an User Interface.

I run the below command in Command prompt,

Corflags.exe "MyApplication.exe"

Output:

Version   : v2.0.50727
CLR Header: 2.5
PE        : PE32
CorFlags : 11
ILONLY    : 1
32BIT     : 1
Signed    : 1

I want to read the value of CLR Header, 32BIT, PE in the command prompt and want to display in a Text box in my front end.
How do i fetch the values ?
Please assist.

Cheers,

For some reason I don't have corflags.exe on my system so I'm assuming the output is exactly as you've posted it. As it's a console application, you'll need to redirect the output in order to capture it. The following code should do it. It's assumed that the TextBox is multi-line: using System.Diagnostics; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; // ... Process p = new Process(); p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true; p.StartInfo.FileName = "corflags.exe"; // may need to specify full path here p.StartInfo.Arguments = "MyApplication.exe"; // ditto p.Start(); string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(); p.WaitForExit(); string regExp = @"(?m)^.*$"; MatchCollection mc = Regex.Matches(output, regExp); var dict = new Dictionary (); foreach(Match m in mc) { if(m.Value.Contains(":")) { string[] items = Regex.Split(m.Value, @"\s*:\s*"); dict.Add(items[0].TrimStart(), items[1].TrimEnd()); } } string[] lines = new string[3]; lines[0] = String.Format("CLR Header : {0}", dict["CLR Header"]); lines[1] = String.Format("32BIT : {0}", dict["32BIT"]); lines[2] = String.Format("PE : {0}", dict["PE"]); textBox1.Lines = lines;
