ControlSend Problem

[MZXPTLK]

Hi together,

i am writing a VB.Net program that establishes SSH-Connections using Putty.exe.

I use AutoItX component.

I have a problem sending "echo $SHELL", using ControlSend in the following Code:

iReturn = oAutoIt.ControlSend("[Handle:" & sHandle & "]", "", "", "echo $SHELL", 1)

ControlSend cannot interprete the '$' because it thinks it is a variable.

so the Putty-Window gets the string "echo 4SHELL" instead of "echo $SHELL".

What is the right syntax, thanks.

Hi,

try

$sendstring = "echo " & "$" & "Shell"

iReturn = oAutoIt.ControlSend("[Handle:" & sHandle & "]", "", "", $sendstring, 1)

or

iReturn = oAutoIt.ControlSend("[Handle:" & sHandle & "]", "", "", "echo " & "$" & "SHELL", 1)

try "{ASC 036}" instead of $

iReturn = oAutoIt.ControlSend("[Handle:" & sHandle & "]", "", "", "echo {ASC 036}SHELL", 1)
