DOSCommand (TurboPack) within Console App
To execute a DOS command within a console application using the TurboPack library in Delphi, you can follow these steps:
Make sure you have the TurboPack library installed in your Delphi environment. You can find the TurboPack library on GitHub: https://github.com/TurboPack
Create a new console application project in Delphi.
Add the necessary TurboPack units to your uses clause. For executing DOS commands, you will need to include the
DosCommand
unit. Youruses
clause should look like this:delphiuses
System.SysUtils, DosCommand;
In your code, create an instance of the
TDosCommand
class from theDosCommand
unit.delphivar
DosCmd: TDosCommand;
begin
DosCmd := TDosCommand.Create(nil);
Set the
CommandLine
property of theTDosCommand
instance to the DOS command you want to execute.delphiDosCmd.CommandLine := 'dir'; // Replace 'dir' with your desired DOS command
Optionally, you can handle the
OnNewLine
event of theTDosCommand
instance to capture the output of the DOS command.delphiprocedure HandleNewLine(Sender: TObject; const NewLine: string; OutputType: TOutputType);
begin
// Process each line of output from the DOS command
// The 'NewLine' parameter contains the current line of output
end;
// Assign the event handler
DosCmd.OnNewLine := HandleNewLine;
Execute the DOS command by calling the
Execute
method of theTDosCommand
instance.delphiDosCmd.Execute;
After executing the command, you can access the exit code of the command through the
ExitCode
property of theTDosCommand
instance.delphiif DosCmd.ExitCode = 0 then
begin
// Command executed successfully
end
else
begin
// Command execution failed
end;
Once you're done with the
TDosCommand
instance, remember to free it.delphiDosCmd.Free;
That's it! You have successfully executed a DOS command within a console application using the TurboPack library in Delphi. Adjust the code and replace 'dir'
with your desired DOS command to execute other commands as needed.
