Anshul Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 The Auto it window info tool is not able to detect he text displayed in the putty window. Is this the limitation of Auto It ? My problem is that I want to type commands in putty depending upon the result of the last commands executed. I don't want to use sleep function to insert delay instead I want to wait till a specific text appears in the putty window. But Auto it window info tool is not able to detect he text displayed in the putty window. I hope you know what putty is . Please find the screen shot of the putty window attached. In the current window any text inside the window example "login as" is not detected by Auto it window info tool and hence I cannot use winwait() function.Please help ...

Tvern Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I have never used the software myself, but from what I've heard there is a command line version of Putty called Plink. If you use Plink instead I believe you should be able to read from and write to the program using the STD I/O functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enaiman Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Quite difficult what you want. One way to go is to use plink as Tvern said (haven't used that yet but it might work). Putty (like TeraTerm) doesn't have any identified controls so you cannot read from there. Before going further let me ask you something: how important is "putty" for you? You want to use it because it is a freeware or because is the one you want to use? There is an alternative (freeware too) which is TeraTerm. Very putty-like and a very good piece of software. The difference? If you use the "logging" feature of TeraTerm, it updates the log in real-time; so what you see on the screen can be read from the log - it becomes a simple matter of reading a text file, which is much easier. As I said, conside using plink first. SNMP_UDF ... for SNMPv1 and v2c so far, GetBulk and a new example script wannabe "Unbeatable" Tic-Tac-Toe Paper-Scissor-Rock ... try to beat it anyway :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anshul Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 I found out that there logging facility in putty as well so I made changes in my program so that it waits until certain text appears in the log file. and it works wonderfully well @enaiman ,@Tvern Thanks a lot for your suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
