The problem I want to run

Execute 2 python commands consecutively

but not working in current .

So could you help me out how to Run the 2 or more process run

consecutively

What I have tried:

PythonManager Testprocess = new PythonManager();

var pythonCommand1 = "a = 4; print(\"Expected a = 4. Actual a = {} \".format(a))";
            var pythonCommand2 = "b=2;print(\"Expected b = 2. Actual b = {} \".format(b));print(\"Expected a = 4. Actual a = \");print(a)";
            Console.WriteLine(Testprocess.ExecuteCommand(pythonCommand1));
            Console.WriteLine(Testprocess.ExecuteCommand(pythonCommand2));
            Console.ReadLine();

<pre>public string ExecuteCommand(string command)
        {
            // KIlling and restarting the process is not right. Need to resolve.

            try
            {
                if (!_pythonProcess.HasExited)
                {
                    _pythonProcess.Kill();
                }
                _pythonProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("");
                _pythonProcess.Start();
                //_pythonProcess.StandardInput.AutoFlush = true;
                _pythonProcess.StandardInput.WriteLine(command);
                _pythonProcess.StandardInput.Flush();
                //_pythonProcess.StandardInput.Dispose();
                _pythonProcess.StandardInput.Close();
                _pythonProcess.WaitForExit();
                var outputString = _pythonProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
                return outputString;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.Error.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
                return null;
            }
        }

That is not valid input to the Python interpreter. It needs to read each statement on a separate line, and also requires correct indentation. It would be better to create a .py file from the C# code and pass the filename to the Python invocation.

Console.WriteLine("Expected result = 6. Actual result = " + testProcess.RunScript("\"C:main\\test\\Test.py\" pro 2 3"));
Console.ReadLine()

I have tried what you have mentioned but it will run one process at a time ..

could you help me out this please

If I correctly understood you want to run the 2 commands in order, first

var pythonCommand1 = "a = 4; print(\"Expected a = 4. Actual a = {} \".format(a))";

and then

var pythonCommand2 = "b=2;print(\"Expected b = 2. Actual b = {} \".format(b));print(\"Expected a = 4. Actual a = \");print(a)";

If this is the case the resulting output will be

Expected a = 4. Actual a = 4 
Expected b = 2. Actual b = 2 
Expected a = 4. Actual a = 
4

You could create a single Python script

a = 4
print("Expected a = 4. Actual a = {} ".format(a))

b=2
print("Expected b = 2. Actual b = {} ".format(b))
print("Expected a = 4. Actual a = ")
print(a)

and then run it from your C# application

using System.Diagnostics;

string pyScript = "script.py";    // If you don't have the script in the same folder you have to include the full path to it
string pyScriptResult = string.Empty;

using (Process proc = new Process())
{
    proc.StartInfo.FileName = "python3";
    proc.StartInfo.Arguments = pyScript;
    proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
    proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

    proc.Start();
    proc.WaitForExit();
    pyScriptResult = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
}

Console.WriteLine(pyScriptResult);

And you'll get the exact same output

dotnet run                                                                                           
Expected a = 4. Actual a = 4 
Expected b = 2. Actual b = 2 
Expected a = 4. Actual a = 
4
