Send Control Characters To Console (?unicode Console?)

[techtonik]

Given one putty console (plink to be correct). The console is probably unicode (at least UTF-8 is specified in putty session options).

The task is to send ctrl-c to close window or ctrl-d command to logout from remote shell.

Problem: control codes typed from keyboard are transmitted correctly, but with AutoIt v3.1.1 Send() function they don't seem to work at all.

start "plink" plink session

This opens a new console window to remote shell. And then.

WinActivate("plink")
WinWaitActive("plink")
Send("{ASC 0067}")
Send("+{ASC 67}")
Send("!{ASC 67}")
Send("^{ASC 67}")
Send("+{ASC 0067}")
Send("!{ASC 0067}")
Send("^{ASC 0067}")
;Send("{CTRLBREAK}")
Send("{ASC 0013}")

This gives a string

[serv001]$ CCCCCCC
-bash: CCCCCCC: command not found
[serv001]$

HI,

I cannot test it right now. Just a thought. Try ClipPut and right mouse.

So long,

P.S.: I know that even when it should work, it is now good solution. :">

Well, ControlClick("plink", "", "", "right") works fine to paste text into the window in this case. The problem is how to get "ctrl+c" to clipboard. =) Any ideas?
