Command Prompt Programs

[Vlad]

Does anyone know of any ways to run a command prompt program (such as ipconfig) and return the programs output? I seem to find anything on the internet about it (I'm sure it's out there, somwhere...).

I'm not entirerly sure how it would work, but the end result would be to run a program (with arguments) then have that programs output appear in a text box or something. Am I making any sense?

Any information would be appreciated, thanks

not making yourself very clear to me ;P

but you can write the program output to a file if that's of any help...

simply do (using ipconfig as an example):

ipconfig > file.txt

argh. I know, it's difficult to explain. Here's an example...

Inside a program, I want to run a command (normally run from a windows console) such as 'net config workstation'. Instead of a command prompt flashing into and out of existance, the output would instead be displayed in a text box in the program.

But it seems like your suggestion may be a much easier solution...thank you =)

If u get into Cmd prompt and type ipconfig it stays on screen

if u go to run and type ipconfig it pops up and disapers too quickly for u to see the info
