I have a fortran exe (asos.exe), which outputs a text file in the same
directory as that of the exe. When this exe is invoked individually,
it outputs a text file. I tried to invoke it from .net form, using
shell command / system.dagnostics.process.start, but it writes to the
console and not to the file. In other words my output text file is not
created at all. I want to overcome this problem. My ultimate goal is
to invoke the fortran.exe from VB.net form, and get the result. Can
anyone help me with this code please? thanks in advance.

With smiles,
Deepa Yamini S.

Hi,

Try this.

Dim p As New Process

Dim SI As New ProcessStartInfo

With SI
.RedirectStandardOutput = True
.UseShellExecute = False
.FileName = "C:\asos.exe"
End With

Dim strOut As String

p = Process.Start(SI)

strOut = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd.ToString

Trace.WriteLine(strOut)
p.WaitForExit()

Dim sw As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:\MyOutput.txt", False)

sw.WriteLine(strOut)

sw.Close()
