Hi all,<br />
I have a requirement of interacting with a console program programatically. The console program when run, opens a command prompt window and waits for some user input. When the user enters his command and presses the enter key, the program displays the result output.<br />
<br />
Now, I want to do all these through available windows APIs like CreateProcess, GetStdHandle, WriteConsole etc. My program should be able to start the console program, issue commands to it and capture the output from the console program into a string.<br />
<br />
If any of you have a sample code or can halp me in any way, please do.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />
Anand

Interacting with console programs

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
