I would like to run "runas /user:Administrator C:Info.bat" in CMD. Admin user requires password which is ("pass"). When I confirm password I got data that I would like to save it into a string.

Here is my code:

        // admin password with secure string

        var pass = new SecureString();

        pass.AppendChar('p');

        pass.AppendChar('a');

        pass.AppendChar('s');

        pass.AppendChar('s');



        Process p = new Process();

        ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("CMD");

        startInfo.Verb = "runas";



        //go to user -> Administrator and then to file C:\Info.bat (not working)

        startInfo.Arguments = "/user:Administrator C:\Info.bat";

        startInfo.Password = pass;

        startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

        p.StartInfo = startInfo;



        // save all output data to string

        p.Start();

Why second argument not working to run C:Info.bat?

How can I save all cmd output text to a string?

Thanks for help.

You need to modify your process argument like below

startInfo.Arguments = "/user:Administrator "cmd /K C:\Info.bat"";

/K argument, which tells CMD.exe to open, run the specified command, then keep the window open.

You may also use.

/C argument, which tells CMD.exe to open, run the specified command, then close when it's done.

Edit:

Here you can read output of your info.bat file in string variable.

var pass = new SecureString();

pass.AppendChar('p');

pass.AppendChar('a');

pass.AppendChar('s');

pass.AppendChar('s');



Process p = new Process();

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("CMD");

startInfo.Verb = "runas";



startInfo.Arguments = "/user:Administrator "cmd /C  C:\info.bat"";

startInfo.Password = pass;

startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;   

p.StartInfo = startInfo;



p.Start();



string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();

p.WaitForExit();
