Command-Line Process in WebMethod returns null?

[stormbind]

Hi all,

Could you please identify below why the output from grep is not being returned in the SOAP response?

Many thanks,

[WebMethod]
public string Grep()
{
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\mingw\bin\grep.exe";
p.Start();
string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
p.WaitForExit();
return output;
}

Resolved it like this, where grep is the exe+args.

p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd";
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/C \"" + grep + "\"";
