Grabbing cmd.exe output in VB 2010

[xboomguy]

Basically, I'm making a netsh GUI. What I need is simple:

Let's say I used

shell("netsh int tcp show global")

and it produced an output, I want the output to be displayed in a RichTextBox.
How do I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Look into the Process class:

Then use ProcessStartInfo to redirect its output:

Any way to do this but with C++?
The only way i do it is to print to a file and then read from a file which i think is kind of a derpy way to do it.

Amazing thing about .NET is you have reflector so you can see how anything in .NET is done.

if (startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput)
            {
                this.CreatePipe(out handle4, out lpStartupInfo.hStdOutput, false);
            }

this.standardOutput = new StreamReader(new FileStream(handle4, FileAccess.Read, 0x1000, false), encoding, true, 0x1000);

So it creates a pipe and passes its handle to the process and then it reads from the pipe using a filestream.

Using the information from it though you can google hStdOutput and find
