hi all,
I liked the redirection stuff chris cells posted lasted week, and I have set
about trying to redirect the output of telnet, (a console app on xp).
I have ripped off chris's code (changed 'cmd.exe' to 'telnet.exe') :
// Create cmd.exe, turning off the window and redirecting I/O to us
ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo("telnet.exe");
info.CreateNoWindow = true;
info.RedirectStandardError = true;
info.RedirectStandardInput = true;
info.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
info.UseShellExecute = false;
cmdProcess = Process.Start(info);
// Capture I/O
errorReader = cmdProcess.StandardError;
outputReader = cmdProcess.StandardOutput;
inputWriter = cmdProcess.StandardInput;
inputWriter.AutoFlush = false;
However nothing ever starts up, or if it does it then it quickly closes
again and nothing comes through the redirected output.
if I put in a check for cmdProcess.HasExited after the Process.Start it
always returns true.
if i comment out the 3 redirection lines then telnet starts up but it
defeats the object of trying to do the redirection in the first place!
I don't know whats wrong. Is this a security thing perhaps?
