console.writeline

Guest

Greetings everybody!

I have a short but hopefully simple question. If anybody can give me some
direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

I am in the process of writing a small console utility that will pull in a
computers hotfix information via wmi’s win32_QuickFixEngineering. The code
listed below works, the only bump I can’t seem to get over is the way the
data is outputted. If at all possible, can you help me output the data in a
comma delimited format? Any help would be greatly appreciated – thank you so
much in advance.

try {

Console.WriteLine("Failed to connect: " + Err.Message);
return 1;

WMIClass.Scope = scope;

Console.WriteLine(property.Name + " = " +
property.Value);
//Console.WriteLine(property.Name + " = " + property.Value + " = "

}
}
return 0;

}

//END Code

Hi Thomas,

I'm not entirely sure how you want the data output, but you could always use Console.Write instead of WriteLine, or comma delimit the strings before writing to console.

For advanced console features you need to tap into kernel32.dll.

Hi,

Try using formatted output like

// Columns (adjust the second number for positioning)
Console.WriteLine("{0,-30} = {1,-30}",property.Name,property.Value);
//Columns

//Comma delimited
int cnt = 0;
while(...)
{
Console.Write("{2}{0} = {1}",property.Name,property.Value,
(cnt==0)?"":",");
cnt++;
}

Or something more complex


Hope this helps
Bill
