That wasn't the goal, at all. We all make mistakes, I just want to make sure that the people asking for help (whether it's you, me, or anyone else here) gets good valid correct info. No point in feeling bad over it, just take 30 seconds and google if it's a "I think," and you're good. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Katherine Moss" <plymouthroamer285@xxxxxxxxx>

Katherine: I really need to go back and explain my comment before, but first I'll answer your question.Yes, lua is free. And there are libraries to support imbedding this in .net.Anyway, back to my origenal comment; I've seen a lot of comments where you are trying to help, but giving the wrong information. I would like to ask that you check your info before you send it through the list. All that misinformation does is confuse the OP, and make you look bad afterword if someone points it out. Checking your facts is as easy as spending say, one minute on google. A search for imbed lua .net, brings up a few tutorials, and right below that, a library.A google for Lua brings up their homepage, second entry is an about lua. Onthe latter page, you have headings. using h (if you use jaws) jumps you through them, with a heading that says "Lua is free."So again, the idea is just to ask you to check your info before you give itout, to avoid confusing the people your trying to help. If you havequestions, please feel free to ask. The goal of this isn't to keep you fromthat, just make sure that people who do ask questions (which may be yourself), get good, accurate information.----- Original Message ----- From: "Katherine Moss" <plymouthroamer285@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2010 2:37 PM Subject: RE: C# console application executing command line commands?But is LUA a free language?

Usually, C# is a little too heavy weight to perform batch file/scripting tasks so there's no real elegant way of doing this. C# wants you to stay within the abstractions of processes, threads, and objects. With that said, why not just use the static member Process.Start(string filename, string arguments); http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h6ak8zt5.aspx i.e. try { Process.Start("copy", @"/s c:\documents\foo z:\bar\"); Process.Start("del", @"/f c:\documents\foo\temp.txt"); } catch (Exception exp) { } ...

Generally, this requires a dynamiclanguage that includes an "Eval" function that can evaluate arbitrarycode at runtime and display the result. C# and Visual Basic do not have such a feature. JScript .NET, IronPython, IronRuby, F#, Boo, and Nemerl -- all .NET languages -- do.

Ok, next silly question... Since have never really created command line/console applications, am now just trying to figure out how to get a console application created in C# to execute command line commands, and then how to get it to close/exit itsself after operation? Idea would be to create a slightly trumped up target for somethinglike a send to shortcut that can do a bit more than your averagebatch file. Have looked for simple examples, but am obviously, again, using incorrect search terms or something - LOL!
