How execute commands of cmd in c# and return the values

Question

How i can execute commands of cmd and return the values of this. For example, i execute the command Ipconfig and return a list of interface available

Thanks.

Why would you use these crazy hacks when there are windows libraries, WinAPI functions and nuget packages? Using any of those will be as simple as Library.GetInterfacesList(). — Hirasawa Yui, Jan 31 '20 at 18:06

This post has a great answer. It also shows how you can run commands without the command prompt popping up.

string strCmdText;
strCmdText= "/C copy /b Image1.jpg + Archive.rar Image2.jpg";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe",strCmdText);

You can use the Process.Start() method to run command-line commands, capture the console outputs, and parse it to get your return values. It's a bit messy but it works.
