Hi Edwin,
I think you can use WorkingDirectory to set for the cmd.exe, it will keep
the space,something like this:
Process compiler = new Process();
compiler.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
compiler.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory="D:\\course ware";
compiler.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
compiler.StartInfo .CreateNoWindow =false;
compiler.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
compiler.Start();
Console.WriteLine(compiler.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
compiler.WaitForExit();
It works well on my machine.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,

| Hi,
|
| Thanks for the recommendation! Unfortunately, that route
| doesn't work for me. The problem is with long pathnames
| (with embedded spaces). In my case the path to C:\test.exe
| would have spaces, C:\Some Directory\test.exe, forcing me
| to use quote charaters. Unfortunately, some of the
| parameters to the program I'm trying to run may have
| spaces in them also. The cmd.exe interpreter has a tough
| time dealing with more than one quoted string in it's
| arguments. The result is that cmd.exe reports an error
| saying that it can't find C:\Some. This is a limitation of
| cmd.exe.
|
| On the other hand, I did manage to fake redirecting
| standard error to standard output. I realized that I was
| only interested in the output one line at a time. So what
| I'm doing is checking if there is anything in standard
| output (using the Peek method) and reading one line if
| there was. Then I check standard error in the same way. I
| do this in an infinite loop until both streams are empty.
| Here is some code:
|
| // <<<<start snippet>>>>
| while (true)
| {
| if (process.StandardOutput.Peek() >=0)
| {
| string line = process.StandardOutput.ReadLine();
| // ...
| }
| else
| {
| if (process.StandardError.Peek() < 0) break;
| }
|
| if (process.StandardError.Peek() >= 0)
| {
| string line = process.StandardError.ReadLine();
| // ...
| }
| else
| {
| if (process.StandardOutput.Peek() < 0) break;
| }
| }
| // <<<<stop snippet>>>>
|
| If this seems unreasonable please let me know. It is quite
| possible that I haven't considered something.
|
| Thanks for the input!
