Multithread multithreaded program

Yeah, I think we need to know more about the other applications.
 
Can you get the other applications to do what you need them to do without executing them from C#? If so, then we need to figure out how to do the same thing, except from C#.

You know what? I agree 100% with you, and I wouldn't normally do it that way myself. My only defense is that my temperature is now 39.5/103 degrees (and coming down), and my body told me to get the ... to bed. That's why I stopped researching myself, and that is also why I was a little bit brief ;)

Anyway - what I'm trying to do is create a shell to automate some of the manual tasks creating some output files I need. In order to do that, I first need to run the java application to generate the base files and get some info out of the text printed to the screen. I then need to run a windows forms application to modify these, and lastly I need to run through the files doing some search and replace. I have no control over the source files of the first two apps.

Where I'm at: My test application is seemingly working just fine, except the java application is a little bit dodgy and...just hangs. I have no idea why, and there's no useful information in the logs it provides. When I turn the number of threads down to 1 in the config, it's seemingly working fine, but it's dead slow. That's why I was wondering if there's any trick to run a multi-threaded application from a thread (actually, when I'm done testing I will be running at least 5 threads in parallell).

I spent like 6 hours working on this yesterday, so even though this is my first real attempt at threading in C#, I do believe I've invested enough time in this to try to involve the experts (that would be you guys :D )

Hopefully, this explanation was better. If not, I have to wait until my fever breaks and hopefully I'll be more coherent then ;)

Cheers!

Now where's my cough syrup...

First, I think it is best to not rely on the subject to ask the question. For one thing, I often open more than one thread at a time, so when I read the body of a message, I might not see the subject. Also, in my experience, when someone uses the subject to ask a question or part of a question, it is nearly always necessary to ask for clarification. People that use the subject to ask a question do not invest the time needed to get a good answer.
 
I sure don't understand what you are asking. I don't undersand "multithread a multithreaded program". I don't understand what you mean by scraping, and I wrote the article called Introduction to Web Site Scraping. Also, when saying things  such as "doesn't work" or "hangs", it is ususlly necesary to be more specific. Hopefully someone else will understand and can help.

As the title says - multithread a multithreaded program. The java application I'm scraping hangs if it uses the built-in threading support, but works fine if I limit the number of threads to one per instance. I was wondering if this is some special case I should be able to work around with some magic.
