Process.StandardOutput returns same data repeatedly

[Yash]

In a VB .NET program, I am trying to read the standard output of an FTP
program. I am using a Process object and reading from its
StandardOutput property.
After doing a StandardOutput.ReadLine(), I do a
StandardOutput.DiscardBufferedData(). Yet, the next Readline returns
the same data that was read earlier. I have to read in a while loop to
reach the new output data.
What could be the problem?
Thanks

Hi Yash,

I use this for it, maybe it helps you to use that
\\\
Dim sr As IO.StreamReader = p.StandardOutput
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder("")
Dim input As Integer = sr.Read
Do Until input = -1
sb.Append(ChrW(input))
input = sr.Read
Loop
dim mystring = sb.toString
///

I hope this helps?

Cor

From
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...streamreaderclassdiscardbuffereddatatopic.asp

"Use DiscardBufferedData to seek to a known location in the underlying
stream and then begin reading from this new point, or to read the contents
of a StreamReader more than once."

I think the DiscardBufferedData resets your offset and start rereading from
the first line. Just continu reading without using that function.
