Passing a command to custom command prompt from C#

Question

I am trying to run a command in a custom .cmd from C#. The problem is that the command is not passed to the prompt when the command prompt is ready. Here is my code:

proc1.UseShellExecute = false;
string Command = @"Depanalyzer targets /n Dev\Tools\CleanupPerfCounters.exe";
proc1.FileName = @"C:\Users\xx\Desktop\MyCustom.cmd";
proc1.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc1.Verb = "runas";
proc1.Arguments ="/k " +  Command;
p.Start();
string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();

I see command window opened but the Command not passed to it and there is no output.

Answer 1

Your Command is passed as an argument and that argument looks like it as whitespace. To pass an argument with whitespace you need to wrap that argument in quotes.

proc1.UseShellExecute = false;
//wrap Command in quotes
string Command = @"""Depanalyzer targets /n Dev\Tools\CleanupPerfCounters.exe""";
proc1.FileName = @"C:\Users\xx\Desktop\MyCustom.cmd";
proc1.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc1.Verb = "runas";
//add quotes
proc1.Arguments ="/k " +  Command;
p.Start();
string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
