Starting cmd.exe in console application in different window.

KingsKnight asked:

Open original thread
Hi,

I want to open a command prompt from a console application in a separate window and execute some command line in the new command prompt.

I was able to open a separate window by setting UseShellExecute=false, but not able to write any thing into it.
StandardIn has not been redirected.
am getting this exception .

C++
Process command = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo commandInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe");
commandInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"c:\sox-14-3-2\";
commandInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
commandInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
commandInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
command.StartInfo = commandInfo;

command.Start();
command.StandardInput.WriteLine("set AUDIODEV=Line 2 (Virtual Audio Cable)");
command.StandardInput.WriteLine("rec.exe -d LyncRecieving.wav trim 0 0:20");


This code works fine but it runs in the same console window.
I want it to be in a separate window.

Can anybody help me with this?

Thanks.
