Skip to the bottom of this message if you are doing it in D and don't care how it is done in the lower level api. The CreateProcess API call takes a STARTUPINFO argument which has handles you can use to redirect the output. 2somefile.txt in cmd.exe does something like this: HANDLE hFile = CreateFile(somefile.txt, GENERIC_WRITE, 0, null, CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, null); if(hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) throw new Exception(couldn't open file); scope(exit) CloseHandle(hFile); STARTUPINFO si; si.cb = si.sizeof; si.dwFlags = STARTF_USESTDHANDLES; si.hStdError = hFile; // redirect to our file si.hStdInput = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE); si.hStdOutput = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); // Now, we'll create the process with the file set up and wait for it to finish PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; if(CreateProcessA(dmd.exe, dmd.exe yourfile.d, null, null, true, 0, null, null, si, pi) == 0) throw new Exception(createProcess failed); WaitForSingleObject(pi.hProcess, INFINITE); CloseHandle(pi.hProcess); // At this point, we could check out somefile.txt to see what is there Of course, if we wanted to see the content in our program, instead of going through a regular file, we could use CreatePipe() to make a pair, passing the write handle to it as the hStdOutput, then reading from the read side to collect all the program's output in memory. There's similar Posix functions if you want to do this kind of thing on linux, etc., too. If you're writing this program in D, the standard library contains a nice little function to make this a lot shorter: http://dlang.org/phobos/std_process.html#.execute the example there calls dmd too! So if you wanna try it from D, copy/paste that example and it should get you started. Actually I was doing it through C#. I have tried getting the output of the window but it doesn't seem to redirect it.

Re: Get Compile Errors - Command Line
Bauss: When compiling manual through command line is there anyway to get the compiling errors? Something like an error.log file or whatever. Perhaps an argument for the compiler? I checked the documents but didn't seem like there was anything. Thanks. Probably you have to use redirect to file, with or even 2 on Windows. Bye, bearophile
