Question regarding Interactive user input

[AviR 0]

Hi,

I'm new with AutoIt, and my question is regarding skipping interactive user commands.

I have a WIN batch script that runs different tools. At one point the script ask the user to insert a username, password ...

I want the script to "press" the Enter automatically, instead of the user to type the default username\password values and press the Enter.

How can I do it with AutoIt?

Thanks!

Wouldn't it be easier to change the batch script (remove the input request) or even translate it as a whole to AutoIt?

The input request will be removed eventually from the script. Meanwhile, I don't want it to be stuck each time I ran it.

The script is pretty massive, so translating it to Autoit isn't an option.

This is why I thought maybe there is a way to pass the input step with autoit.

How is the user input requested? Does he have to enter the data in the DOS box or in a pop up window?

Which command is used for the input?

The input is requested in a DOS shell.

The batch script activates different tools , among them a .cxx test that contains:

cout << "Enter password:" << endl;

getline(cin, password);
