Redirect Standard Output with Shell Execute

I understand how to redirect StandardIO streams from Process objects in C# in general. However, I have to use ShellExecute for a particular command to work.

Consequently, I am unable to redirect these streams which I need for logging purposes.

I've tried redirecting it like this:

procStart.FileName = m1g;
procStart.Arguments = ">> output.txt";

At which point I plan on just reading the text file back, but this doesn't seem to work.

Is it possible to do something like this?

Pipe commands are implemented by cmd.exe. So you need to run cmd /c and add your executable path as argument 

Process.Start("cmd.exe", "/c " + yourexecutablecommandline + " >> output.txt" );
