Question

I’ve got a program that outputs to a file. I’m running it from an MSBuild project. I’d like this output to be written to StdOut, so that it can be picked up by our build agent (TeamCity).

How do I get MSBuild to dump the content of a file to the output?

Answer 1

The dos command type could to that.

<Target Name="ExecProgramAndOutputToStdOut">
  <Exec Command="YourProgram.exe"/>

  <Exec Command="type output_file"/>
</Target>
