if you can get the text, yes.

Say you copy this to clipboard:

From: EarthLink High Speed Internet Team <dslsales@earthlink.net>

Subject: EarthLink High Speed Internet -- 6 Months for $29.95 per Month!**

Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2004 05:48:57 PDT

X-Accept-Language: en

types="text/plain,text/html";

types="text/plain,text/html";

then you could use this to get each subject line:

$everything=clipget()
while 1
if StringInstr($everything,"Subject: ")=0 then ExitLoop
$len=StringInstr($everything,"Subject: ")+9
$line=StringMid($everything,$len,StringInStr($everything,"Date: ")-$len-1)
MsgBox(1,"subject",$line)
$everything=StringTrimLeft($everything,StringInstr($everything,"Date: "))
wend

You can do similar things to get from a file, and I used the "Date: " to seperate, but you could use the end of line or whatever your fancy.

Yes but can i do it automatically? as part of the script? im trying to do this so i dont have to teach our whole staff how to use the telnet side of our switches my goal is for the only user interaction to be inputing the switch IP and the port there curious about and having the script do the rest

Maybe, but I am ignorant on Teraterm Pro.

Can you use a commandline to output that into a text file?

AutoIt doesn't read Dos windows too well, so normally you output the info to a text file, read it, and delete the temporary text file. ex:

RunWait("cmd /c net view >computers.txt","",@SW_HIDE)

once in a text file, automation is easy.

How do you access your switch? If you do it via a command line window then you can use the following line to get the window test into the Clipboard

send("!{space}es{enter}")

You may want to set the command window buffer to something greater than 25 if there is a lot of text in reply

Nice GrahamS!

I forgot about that. It should work nice on WinNT based DOS windows. Win98/95/ME don't work so well.

I need to remember that.

In that case, 99% sure it can all be automated
