Hi all, I'm trying to redirect the output of a dos or console program to a file. According to the win32 progammer's reference, this can be done by setting the stdhandles of a STARTUPINFO structure to file handles. I'm currently using this: ;==========start of code ======== ; get startup info invoke GetStartupInfo, ADDR ProgSI invoke CreateFile, ADDR TempOutputFile, GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_WRITE or FILE_SHARE_READ,\ NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS, NULL, NULL mov hOutputFile, eax invoke CreateFile, ADDR TempErrorFile, GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_WRITE or FILE_SHARE_READ,\ NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS, NULL, NULL mov hErrorFile, eax invoke CreateFile, ADDR TempInputFile, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_WRITE or FILE_SHARE_READ,\ NULL,CREATE_ALWAYS, NULL, NULL mov hInputFile, eax mov ProgSI.hStdInput, eax push hOutputFile pop ProgSI.hStdOutput push hErrorFile pop ProgSI.hStdError or ProgSI.dwFlags,STARTF_USESTDHANDLES invoke CreateProcess, ADDR CommandBuffer, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,\ TRUE, NULL, NULL, ADDR ProgSI, ADDR ProgPI ;==========end of code ======== CreateProcess returns 1 to indicate success, but when I call: invoke WaitForSingleObject, ProgPI.hProcess, INFINITE to wait for the program to quit, it waits forever and nothing is written to the output files. What's wrong? Thomas

This works but it hangs on ReadFile if it's running a .bat file (it outputs everything but hangs at the end). Thomas
