RUN cmd and execute curl command in VB.NET
To execute a curl command in VB.NET, you can use the Process.Start
method to run the command prompt (cmd.exe
) and then pass the curl command as an argument. Here's an example:
vbImports System.Diagnostics
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim curlCommand As String = "curl -X GET https://api.example.com"
Dim processInfo As New ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", "/c " & curlCommand)
processInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
processInfo.UseShellExecute = False
processInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
Dim process As Process = Process.Start(processInfo)
Dim output As String = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
process.WaitForExit()
Console.WriteLine("Output:")
Console.WriteLine(output)
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
End Module
In this example:
The
curlCommand
variable holds the curl command you want to execute. Replace it with your desired curl command.ProcessStartInfo
is used to configure the process execution. We specify the command prompt (cmd.exe
) as the filename and the/c
argument to indicate that we want to run the command and then terminate the command prompt.We set
RedirectStandardOutput
toTrue
to capture the output of the curl command.UseShellExecute
is set toFalse
to prevent the curl command from running within a new window.CreateNoWindow
is set toTrue
to hide the command prompt window.Process.Start
is called with theProcessStartInfo
object to start the command prompt and execute the curl command.The output of the curl command is captured using
StandardOutput
and then displayed.
You can customize the code based on your specific curl command and desired handling of the output.
