Not sure if that would work but you can try entering the password using WriteLine method after you Run the app like this:

    public static string RunWithPassword(string fileName, string cmdLine, string password)
    {
        using (var app = new ConsoleApp(fileName, cmdLine))
        {
            var outputStringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
            app.ConsoleOutput += (o, args) => outputStringBuilder.AppendLine(args.Line);
            
            app.Run();
            app.WriteLine(password);
            app.WaitForExit();
            
            var output = outputStringBuilder.ToString();

            return output;
        }
    }

Thanks, I will give it a try. I need to communicate with a console app written in C/C++ using _getch() function which reads from the console buffer (not the standard input).

It's one tough cookie.
