Capture console output in real-time. Help!

[intermario_gr]

Hello

I am building a Windows application that, at some point, calls a separate process (a command line application). The latter takes quite some time to complete (about 5 minutes or more). How can I capture the console app's output in order to show it (in a textbox for instance) in my windows application?

Please note that I don't want the console app's whole output after it's completed. I want to capture its console output while it's producing it.

Thanks.

You can use the old DOS > text.txt to send output to a file.
It's called the pipe character. >> appends, while > creates.

Take a look at BeginOutputReadLine Method (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.beginoutputreadline.aspx) of the process class.

Thanks guys, I haven't tried it yet but I'm pretty sure this is what I've been looking for. You were of great help.
