Hi All,
I have the following code working well with TProcess outputting to a TMemo,
however, what I'd like to do it monitor the output and then when a certain
string is detected, I'd like to feed back to the process. That is, if the
TProcess outputs a question, I'd like to feed back either a "y" or a "n" as
if the user pressed it manually.
Hope that makes sense
Any ideas where to tweak?
Thanks Richard
const
C_BUFSIZE = 2048;
var
Hbk: TProcess;
Buffer: pointer;
SStream: TStringStream;
nread: longint;
begin
Hbk := TProcess.Create(nil);
// Replace the line below with your own command string
Hbk.CommandLine := 'c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c dir c:\windows\*.*';
//
Hbk.Options := [poUsePipes];
Hbk.Execute;
// Prepare for capturing output
Getmem(Buffer, C_BUFSIZE);
SStream := TStringStream.Create('');
// Start capturing output
while Hbk.Running do
begin
nread := Hbk.Output.Read(Buffer^, C_BUFSIZE);
if nread = 0 then
sleep(100)
else
begin
// Translate raw input to a string
SStream.size := 0;
SStream.Write(Buffer^, nread);
// And add the raw stringdata to the memo
Memo1.Lines.Text := Memo1.Lines.Text + SStream.DataString;
end;
end;
// Capture remainder of the output
repeat
nread := Hbk.Output.Read(Buffer^, C_BUFSIZE);
if nread > 0 then
begin
SStream.size := 0;
SStream.Write(Buffer^, nread);
Memo1.Lines.Text := Memo1.Lines.Text + SStream.Datastring;
end
until nread = 0;
// Clean up
Hbk.Free;
Freemem(buffer);
SStream.Free;
end;
