I am invoking Powershell from C# to gather some information and using Out-File to send it to a text file. Then I need to read the lines from said file and do stuff with the data inside of C#.
string MyCommand = "-Command &{ get-process | Out-File C:\\MyFile.txt}";
ProcessStartInfo MyProcInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
MyProcInfo.FileName = "powershell.exe";
MyProcInfo.Arguments = MyCommand;
Process MyProcess = new Process();
MyProcess.StartInfo = MyProcInfo;
MyProcess.Start();
MyProcess.WaitForExit();
try
{
var lines = File.ReadLines(#"C:\MyFile.txt");
(etc)
}
catch (Exception Ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(Ex.ToString());
}
So when it tries to open the text file I am getting a
"File Not Found"
exception. The file IS being written every time, so I am assuming that there is a timing thing going on which is why I am using WaitForExit. But it is still not able to 'find' the file.
Why don't you write the file with C# instead of PowerShell?
You can leverage the Diagnostics.Process .NET class (here's a PowerShell example)
$proc = [Diagnostics.Process]::Start($exe, $arguments)
$proc.WaitForExit()
I can't tell you what is wrong but I can give you some tips to troubleshoot.
After MyProcess.WaitForExit()
add a test for the file's existence.
if (File.Exists(#"C:\Myfile.txt"))
{
... file process code here....
}
Get rid of the hardcoded file names and use variables instead.
string filename = #"C:\MyFile.txt";
string MyCommand = "-Command &{ get-process | Out-File " & filename &
"}";
then when you want to access the file use:
if (File.Exists(filename))
{
...process the file.
}
The advantage of this is that you are 100% guaranteed that you are using exactly the same filename in all places.
Add a breakpoint after MyProcess.WaitForExit();
Then, when the execution stops, navigate to the file and ensure that it is physically there AT THAT TIME and ensure that it is not locked by the program. For example, try to rename it or delete it. If it is still locked you should not be able to do either of those things. Also, most current versions of Windows have someplace that you can check for open files. If you tell me what OS you are running I might be able to tell you how to check that.
One more thing: another poster mentioned Windows Redirection. I personally have never had that happen when the file was explicitly fully qualified.
HTH,

Hello!
You can try to do something like this:
maybe it help for you
namespace ConsoleApplication1

MyProcInfo.FileName = "powershell.exe";
MyProcInfo.Arguments = MyCommand;
Process MyProcess = new Process();
MyProcess.StartInfo = MyProcInfo;
MyProcess.Start();
MyProcess.WaitForExit();
try
{
var lines = File.ReadLines(#"c:\test\MyFile.txt");
foreach (var ln in lines) {
Console.WriteLine(ln);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
catch (Exception Ex)

I'm calling a python script from a C# tool. I based my code on this post. I use ProcessStartInfo to start python and pass a .py file and some argument to it. The code runs fine when the .py, CreateAssessorMap.py, file is on the c drive but not when it is on a mapped network drive. No error is thrown but no python code is executed as far as I can see. If I manually do the same operation from the command line it runs fine.
The code below the first procStartInfo.Arguments will fail as CreateAssessorMap.py is on a network drive. The commented out line below it would work as the script is on the C drive.
private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
ProcessStartInfo procStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
procStartInfo.FileName = "python";
procStartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("{0} {1} {2}", #"D:\Map_Generate_Scripts\CreateAssessorMap.py", this.txtSheet.Text, txtDestinationFolder.Text);
//procStartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("{0} {1} {2} ", #"C:\Projects\Map_Generate_Scripts\CreateAssessorMap.py", this.txtSheet.Text, txtDestinationFolder.Text);
procStartInfo.UserName = null;
procStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
procStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
// Do not create the black window.
procStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
// Now you create a process, assign its ProcessStartInfo, and start it.
using (Process process = Process.Start(procStartInfo))
{
using (System.IO.StreamReader reader = process.StandardOutput)
{
string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.Write(result);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ecpt)
{
Console.WriteLine(ecpt.Message);
}
this.Parent.Hide();
}
Edit
I added some error handling and the python code is failing with the message that the .py file cannot be found.
python: can't open file 'D:\Map_Generate_Scripts\CreateAssessorMapCreateAssessorMap.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
I know it exists since I can run the file from the command line with the same arguments. So it seems that when I run from C# the python process can't find the d drive.
I assume that when it runs from a network drive it takes longer and your program does not wait for Python script's completion. I suggest adding proces.Wait() before reading the output stream.
As stated in the comments, the solution for Dowlers was to use the full path instead of the mapped network drive.
Change
#"D:\Map_Generate_Scripts\CreateAssessorMap.py"
To
#"\\[network path]\Map_Generate_Scripts\CreateAssessorMap.py"
I currently have a piece of code that opens a cmd prompt using admin rights. What I can't seem to manage is to send a couple of commands to be carried out. I currently have the following code:
var proc = new ProcessStartInfo();
proc.UseShellExecute = true;
proc.WorkingDirectory = #"C:\Windows\System32";
proc.FileName = #"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe";
proc.Verb = "runas";
try
{
Process.Start(proc);
Console.WriteLine("Successfully elevated!");
}
catch (Exception)
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to elevate.");
}
How would I go about adding a few commands for example what if I wanted to change dir then run an exe file? I am sure it is something very simple I have missed. I have tried giving arguements like so:
proc.Arguments = "cd \\temp";
You can call a .exe from a given filepath using a process.
Like the answer in this: Can you execute another EXE file from within a C# console application?
EDIT:
If you want the directory the program is running from with temp at the end you can do:
string filepath = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + #"\temp\programToRun.exe";
This sort of question has been asked before in varying degrees, but I feel it has not been answered in a concise way and so I ask it again.
I want to run a script in Python. Let's say it's this:
if __name__ == '__main__':
with open(sys.argv[1], 'r') as f:
s = f.read()
print s
Which gets a file location, reads it, then prints its contents. Not so complicated.
Okay, so how do I run this in C#?
This is what I have now:
private void run_cmd(string cmd, string args)
{
ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo();
start.FileName = cmd;
start.Arguments = args;
start.UseShellExecute = false;
start.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
using (Process process = Process.Start(start))
{
using (StreamReader reader = process.StandardOutput)
{
string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.Write(result);
}
}
}
When I pass the code.py location as cmd and the filename location as args it doesn't work. I was told I should pass python.exe as the cmd, and then code.py filename as the args.
I have been looking for a while now and can only find people suggesting to use IronPython or such. But there must be a way to call a Python script from C#.
Some clarification:
I need to run it from C#, I need to capture the output, and I can't use IronPython or anything else. Whatever hack you have will be fine.
P.S.: The actual Python code I'm running is much more complex than this, and it returns output which I need in C#, and the C# code will be constantly calling the Python code.
Pretend this is my code:
private void get_vals()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
run_cmd("code.py", i);
}
}
The reason it isn't working is because you have UseShellExecute = false.
If you don't use the shell, you will have to supply the complete path to the python executable as FileName, and build the Arguments string to supply both your script and the file you want to read.
Also note, that you can't RedirectStandardOutput unless UseShellExecute = false.
I'm not quite sure how the argument string should be formatted for python, but you will need something like this:
private void run_cmd(string cmd, string args)
{
ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo();
start.FileName = "my/full/path/to/python.exe";
start.Arguments = string.Format("{0} {1}", cmd, args);
start.UseShellExecute = false;
start.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
using(Process process = Process.Start(start))
{
using(StreamReader reader = process.StandardOutput)
{
string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.Write(result);
}
}
}
If you're willing to use IronPython, you can execute scripts directly in C#:
using IronPython.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting;
private static void doPython()
{
ScriptEngine engine = Python.CreateEngine();
engine.ExecuteFile(#"test.py");
}

I ran into the same problem and Master Morality's answer didn't do it for me. The following, which is based on the previous answer, worked:
private void run_cmd(string cmd, string args)
{
ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo();
start.FileName = cmd;//cmd is full path to python.exe
start.Arguments = args;//args is path to .py file and any cmd line args
start.UseShellExecute = false;
start.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
using(Process process = Process.Start(start))
{
using(StreamReader reader = process.StandardOutput)
{
string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.Write(result);
}
}
}
As an example, cmd would be #C:/Python26/python.exe and args would be C://Python26//test.py 100 if you wanted to execute test.py with cmd line argument 100. Note that the path the .py file does not have the # symbol.
Actually its pretty easy to make integration between Csharp (VS) and Python with IronPython. It's not that much complex... As Chris Dunaway already said in answer section I started to build this inegration for my own project. N its pretty simple.
Just follow these steps N you will get your results.
step 1 : Open VS and create new empty ConsoleApp project.
step 2 : Go to tools --> NuGet Package Manager --> Package Manager Console.
step 3 : After this open this link in your browser and copy the NuGet Command.
Link: https://www.nuget.org/packages/IronPython/2.7.9
step 4 : After opening the above link copy the PM>Install-Package IronPython -Version 2.7.9
command and paste it in NuGet Console in VS.
It will install the supportive packages.
step 5 : This is my code that I have used to run a .py file stored in my Python.exe
directory.

I am having problems with stdin/stout - when payload size exceeds several kilobytes it hangs. I need to call Python functions not only with some short arguments, but with a custom payload that could be big.
A while ago, I wrote a virtual actor library that allows to distribute task on different machines via Redis. To call Python code, I added functionality to listen for messages from Python, process them and return results back to .NET.
Here is a brief description of how it works.
It works on a single machine as well, but requires a Redis instance. Redis adds some reliability guarantees - payload is stored until a worked acknowledges completion. If a worked dies, the payload is returned to a job queue and then is reprocessed by another worker.
had same issure and this worked for me:
using IronPython.Hosting;
var engine = Python.CreateEngine();
engine.ExecuteFile("") //put the directory of the program in the quote marks
I had the same issue and used answers on here to solve it using a process. I had conflicts between my .NET and IronPython so wasn't successful there. This works well with my python 3.10.
public void Run_cmd2(string exe, string args, string output )
{
var outputStream = new StreamWriter(output);
// create a process with the name provided by the 'exe' variable
Process cmd = new Process();
cmd.StartInfo.FileName = exe;
//define you preference on the window and input/output
cmd.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
cmd.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
cmd.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
cmd.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
// write the output to file created
cmd.OutputDataReceived += new DataReceivedEventHandler((sender, e) =>
{
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(e.Data))
{
outputStream.WriteLine(e.Data);
}
});
cmd.Start();
// write to the console you opened. In this case for example the python console
cmd.StandardInput.WriteLine(args);
//Read the output and close everything. make sure you wait till the end of the process
cmd.BeginOutputReadLine();
cmd.StandardInput.Flush();
cmd.StandardInput.Close();
cmd.WaitForExit();
//close the process. writing to debug helps when coding
outputStream.Close();
//Console.WriteLine(cmd.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
cmd.Close();
Debug.WriteLine("\n\n Process done!");
//Console.ReadLine();
}
Example call:
string pythonEngine = "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\compVision\python.exe";
string pythonArguements = "import os ; os.chdir('C:\YourPath\excelWorkbooks') ; import testSearch ; testSearch.performAdd(2, 3)";
// here a function in testSearch.py is called. To run the .py directly do this:
string pythonArguements = "import os ; os.chdir('C:\YourPath\excelWorkbooks') ; import testSearch ; testSearch.py";
outFile = "C:\YourPath\output.txt";
_yourModuleName.Run_cmd2(pythonEngine, pythonArguements, outFile);
I am trying to export a database from c# using mysqldump.
When I run it i get this message: Unknown database 'mysqldump' when selecting the database.
I can't find the solution.
public static void mysqlBackup()
{
try
{
//string time = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");
Log.Info("Starting MySQL dump");
Process MySqlDump = new Process();
MySqlDump.StartInfo.FileName = #"mysqldump.exe";
MySqlDump.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
MySqlDump.StartInfo.Arguments =
"mysqldump -uroot -p******** b3 >"+
" C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/temp/backups/backup.sql";
MySqlDump.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = false;
MySqlDump.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
MySqlDump.Start();
MySqlDump.WaitForExit();
MySqlDump.Close();
Log.Info("Successfull created");
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
Log.Error("Unable to write the database file" + ex.ToString());
}
}
I tried to remove the mysqldump from the arguments kinda the same problem.
The redirection operator > is not an argument to mysqldump. When you execute it on the command line, it's being interpreted by the command line itself, not by mysqldump. You have two choices here:
Use the --result-file option as others have mentioned
Capture the stdout of the process and do what you like with the output by setting the RedirectStandardOutput property of StartInfo to be true. After this, you can read from the StandardOutput stream of the process.
I think you need to specify the name of the database you want to dump as the first argument. Thanks to nathan it goes after --databases at the end.
MySqlDump.StartInfo.Arguments = "-u root -p *** database_name --result-file [path]\backup.sql";
You don't need to specify mysqldump again in the command either (not that it should make much difference).
The Mysql documentation states there are 3 ways to use the mysqldump command:
shell> mysqldump [options] db_name [tbl_name ...]
shell> mysqldump [options] --databases db_name ...
shell> mysqldump [options] --all-databases
Ensure the command works fine via your command line. If it does that execute that command directly within your code. If that works then start extracting your arguments and replacing them with your own parameters within code.
Basically you want to get as basic as possible and work back up from there.
If the file works on the command line, try this:
using (Process p = new Process())
{
p.StartInfo.FileName = #"mysqldump.exe -u root -p *** --database b3 -r test.sql"; <~~~ note the change here
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
}
The file will be dumped to your project folders bin/debug or bin/release folder unless you change that code.
Here is your edited method:
public static void mysqlBackup()
{
try
{
//string time = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");
Log.Info("Starting MySQL dump");
using(Process MySqlDump = new Process()
{
MySqlDump.StartInfo.FileName = #"mysqldump.exe";
MySqlDump.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
MySqlDump.StartInfo.Arguments = "-uroot -p******** b3 --result-file=C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/temp/backups/backup.sql";
MySqlDump.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = false;
MySqlDump.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = false; //You can redirect this as mention in other answers
MySqlDump.Start();
MySqlDump.WaitForExit();
MySqlDump.Close();
}
Log.Info("Successfully created");
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
Log.Error("Unable to write the database file" + ex.ToString());
}
}

string pythonArguements = "import os ; os.chdir('C:\YourPath\excelWorkbooks') ; import testSearch ; testSearch.performAdd(2, 3)";
// here a function in testSearch.py is called. To run the .py directly do this:
