the doscommand unit contents
you have to use this unit in the uses section
{
this component let you execute a dos program (exe, com or batch file) and catch
the ouput in order to put it in a memo or in a listbox, ...
you can also send inputs.
the cool thing of this component is that you do not need to wait the end of
the program to get back the output. it comes line by line.

** **
** for this component, i just translated C code **
** from Community.borland.com **
** (http://www.vmlinux.org/jakov/community.borland.com/10387.html) **
** **
** if you have a good idea of improvement, please **
** let me know (maxime_collomb@yahoo.fr). **
** if you improve this component, please send me a copy **
** so i can put it on www.torry.net. **

History :
---------
13-06-2003 : version 2.?
- Added exception when executing with empty CommandLine
- Added IsRunning property to check if a command is currently
running
18-05-2001 : version 2.0
- Now, catching the beginning of a line is allowed (usefull if the
prog ask for an entry) => the method OnNewLine is modified
- Now can send inputs
- Add a couple of FreeMem for sa & sd [thanks Gary H. Blaikie]
07-05-2001 : version 1.2
- Sleep(1) is added to give others processes a chance
[thanks Hans-Georg Rickers]
- the loop that catch the outputs has been re-writen by
Hans-Georg Rickers => no more broken lines
30-04-2001 : version 1.1
- function IsWinNT() is changed to
(Win32Platform = VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT) [thanks Marc Scheuner]
- empty lines appear in the redirected output
- property OutputLines is added to redirect output directly to a
memo, richedit, listbox, ... [thanks Jean-Fabien Connault]
- a timer is added to offer the possibility of ending the process
after XXX sec. after the beginning or YYY sec after the last
output [thanks Jean-Fabien Connault]
- managing process priorities flags in the CreateProcess
thing [thanks Jean-Fabien Connault]
20-04-2001 : version 1.0 on www.torry.net
*******************************************************************
How to use it :
---------------
- just put the line of command in the property 'CommandLine'
- execute the process with the method 'Execute'
- if you want to stop the process before it has ended, use the method 'Stop'
- if you want the process to stop by itself after XXX sec of activity,
use the property 'MaxTimeAfterBeginning'
- if you want the process to stop after XXX sec without an output,
use the property 'MaxTimeAfterLastOutput'
- to directly redirect outputs to a memo or a richedit, ...
use the property 'OutputLines'
(DosCommand1.OutputLnes := Memo1.Lines;)
- you can access all the outputs of the last command with the property 'Lines'
- you can change the priority of the process with the property 'Priority'
value of Priority must be in [HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS, IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS,
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS]
- you can have an event for each new line and for the end of the process
with the events 'procedure OnNewLine(Sender: TObject; NewLine: string;
OutputType: TOutputType);' and 'procedure OnTerminated(Sender: TObject);'
- you can send inputs to the dos process with 'SendLine(Value: string;
Eol: Boolean);'. Eol is here to determine if the program have to add a
CR/LF at the end of the string.
*******************************************************************
How to call a dos function (win 9x/Me) :
----------------------------------------
Example : Make a dir :
----------------------
- if you want to get the result of a 'c:\dir /o:gen /l c:\windows\*.txt'
for example, you need to make a batch file
--the batch file : c:\mydir.bat
@echo off
dir /o:gen /l %1
rem eof
--in your code
DosCommand.CommandLine := 'c:\mydir.bat c:\windows\*.txt';
DosCommand.Execute;
Example : Format a disk (win 9x/Me) :
-------------------------
--a batch file : c:\myformat.bat
@echo off
format %1
rem eof
--in your code
var diskname: string;
--
DosCommand1.CommandLine := 'c:\myformat.bat a:';
DosCommand1.Execute; //launch format process
DosCommand1.SendLine('', True); //equivalent to press enter key
DiskName := 'test';
DosCommand1.SendLine(DiskName, True); //enter the name of the volume

tanks for help
FlamingClaw 98 Posting Pro
did you create a .bat or a .cmd file that contains some old dos commands,like Mkdir or Copy or Tree or somethig?
listen the 'how to use it' section's part "Example : Make a dir :"

i have resive this mesage
Error reding DosCommand1.ShowWindow:Property ShowWindow does not exsist
what is problem
Big Thanks for answer......
especta 0 Newbie Poster
this DosCommand.pas is wrong this is error i got......
I have finaly resolve my problem the error of DosCommand is bad DosCommand.pas and DosCommand.dcu i have installed manually another version and "all the work without errors"
my code is 100 % ok ......
(must install manually ( no dpk) or will by errors like mines)
Big Thanks
