 Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2004 2:54 am Post subject: Need Help with Window Send Command |
 |
|
I am having the following issue with the window send command:
As an example the following code works fine in a VDS script:
| Code: | %I = @winactive(I)
%%sendme = @ctrl(j)@key(Esc)
window send,%I,%%sendme |
This works great and simulates the pressing of the Ctrl-J and Esc key to the active window.
What I would really like to do from my script though is read the contents of the variable %%sendme from a text or .ini file as follows:
| Code: | %I = @winactive(I)
%%sendme = @iniread(Keys,Keys1)
window send,%I,%%sendme |
where Keys1=@ctrl(j)@key(Esc)
The problem here is that instead of simulating the pressing of the Ctrl-J and Esc key - now instead the following characters are sent to the active window: @ctrl(j)@key(Esc).
I don't want this, but would rather like it to work like the first script above. Is there an easy way of doing this without having to parse all of this info. out of the text or .ini file and then having to explicitly specify the @ functions manually in the script?
I apologize if this has been covered before, but it does not seem obvious to me as to how you would do this.

You can't use a variable in place of a VDS function or command. Both @CTRL and @ESC are VDS functions.
You would have to see if %%sendme equaled @ctrl(j)@esc and then send them. That of course only works if you actually know the possible keys the user will want you to send.
So something along the lines of:
| Code: |
%I = @winactive(I)
%%sendme = @iniread(Keys,Keys1)
if @EQUAL(%%sendme,"@ctrl(j)@esc")
window send,%I,@ctrl(j)@esc
end
if @EQUAL(%%sendme,"@alt@esc")
window send,%I,@alt@esc
end
|
Hope that helps.

SnarlingSheep: Actually I meant to have @key(Esc) instead of @esc, sorry about that - I have updated my original post.
Unfortunately the problem is I don't know what the actual keys a user will want to send - the user would be adding these to a .ini file and the script will simply read this and import these characters into a variable within the compiled VDS script. Thanks for your help though - I will look into possibly another way (if possible) to accomplish this. |

Try this. I hope you will understand what it does a bit, so you can adjust it to your own needs... 
| Code: | %%sendme = "test@shift(abc)test"
%%output =
%%counter = 1
repeat
if @unequal(@substr(%%sendme,%%counter,%%counter),"@")
%%output = %%output@substr(%%sendme,%%counter,%%counter)
else
# Get the function
%%function = @substr(%%sendme,%%counter,@len(%%sendme))
# Get the parameter
%%parameters = @substr(%%function,@succ(@pos("(",%%function)),@pred(@pos(")",%%function)))
# And trim down the function name
%%function = @substr(%%function,2,@pred(@pos("(",%%function)))
# Now check the function's name, and add it to %%output
if @equal(%%function,"CTRL")
%%output = %%output@ctrl(%%parameters)
end
if @equal(%%function,"ALT")
%%output = %%output@alt(%%parameters)
end
if @equal(%%function,"SHIFT")
%%output = %%output@shift(%%parameters)
end
if @equal(%%function,"CR")
%%output = %%output@cr()
end
if @equal(%%function,"KEY")
%%output = %%output@key(%%parameters)
end
%%counter = @sum(%%counter,@len(%%function),@len(%%parameters),2)
end
%%counter = @succ(%%counter)
until @greater(%%counter,@len(%%sendme))
info %%output |

Excellent! This was exactly what I was looking for Skit. It works perfectly. Thank you - you saved me a lot of time.  |
