C# Process.Start() with multiple arguments do not work (nmap)

Question

Description

At the moment I am trying to call "nmap" through C# Process.Start(). But I can't get it work with my desired input arguments. At Process.Start() it seems to make a false parsing of the arguments. Do you know how I have to write the ArgumentList that my command is running right? In the commandline the same command works like charm...

Thank you!

Example

My simple example: (Edit: Suggestion of Lei Yang)

using System.Diagnostics;


namespace MyApp // Note: actual namespace depends on the project name.
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using var myprocess = Process.Start
            (
                new ProcessStartInfo
                {
                    FileName = "/bin/zsh",
                    ArgumentList = {"-c nmap -p 8000-9000 -oG - 192.168.178.37/24 | awk -F'[/ ]' '{h=$2; for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if($i==\"open\"){print h,$(i-1)}}}'" }

                }
            );

            myprocess.WaitForExit();
        }
    }
}

Output of this command:

zsh: bad option string: '-c nmap -p 8000-9000 -oG - 192.168.178.37/24 | awk -F'[/ ]' '{h=$2; for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if($i=="open"){print h,$(i-1)}}}''

Desired output:

192.168.178.1 8089
192.168.178.1 8181
192.168.178.1 8182
192.168.178.1 8183
192.168.178.1 8184
192.168.178.1 8185
192.168.178.1 8186
192.168.178.43 8080

Answer 1

With the help of you I could solve the problem. Thank you!

Solution for someone with the same problem:

Variant 1: Direct way:

using System.Diagnostics;


namespace MyApp // Note: actual namespace depends on the project name.
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using var myprocess = Process.Start
            (
                new ProcessStartInfo
                {
                    FileName = "/bin/zsh",
                    ArgumentList = {  "-c",  "nmap -p 8000-9000 -oG - 192.168.178.37/24 | awk -F'[/ ]' '{h=$2; for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if($i==\"open\"){print h,$(i-1)}}}'" }

                }
            );

            myprocess.WaitForExit();
        }
    }
}

Variant 2: Detour: Shell script (Maybe the easier way) C#:

using System.Diagnostics;


namespace MyApp // Note: actual namespace depends on the project name.
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using var myprocess = Process.Start
            (
                new ProcessStartInfo
                {
                    FileName = "/bin/zsh",
                    ArgumentList = {"/home/alexander/tst.sh"}
                }
            );

            myprocess.WaitForExit();
        }
    }
}

Shell script:

#!/bin/zsh
nmap -p 8000-9000 -oG - 192.168.178.37/24 | awk -F'[/ ]' '{h=$2; for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if($i=="open"){print h,$(i-1)}}}'

Output of both variants:

192.168.178.1 8089
192.168.178.1 8181
192.168.178.1 8182
192.168.178.1 8183
192.168.178.1 8184
192.168.178.1 8185
192.168.178.1 8186
192.168.178.43 8080
