How to parse a third party console application showing the status of external process (C#)?

Question

The following video (gif) shows a third party console application that is managing an external process.

I'm looking to parse the information in the standard output to show it in a WinForm (C#).

I tried various approaches (for example here ) but none seems to work, meaning nothing in the StreamReader, neither OutputDataReceived event.

If the text have new line characters, there is not issue. But is not the case with this app.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

It may depend on the operating system. But it looks like the line gets rewritten . In this case you would need to read the stream buffer before it gets "committed" by a newline. (As you found out. IISC, the answer you linked uses BeginOutput ReadLine .) So, when you have your stream (eg standard input ?) You might be able to read the buffer more precisely .

Hope, I got the question right:)
