bluesxman Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) I'll start by saying this: I've not been working with AutoIt for very long, and my previous brush with programming (rather than cmd/UNIX scripting, which I do a fair bit of) was in PASCAL and ADA in the mid 90's. And I've effectively forgotten everything I learned of them.So please try not to bombard me with too much code wizardry that I may or may not be able to make head nor tail of. Right, so let's get to my query:I won't bore you with the details (unless you want me to) but suffice it to say I need to telnet to a given host, send a few commands, parsing the screen output to determine the current state of play, send a few more commands when conditions are met, disconnect. The second bit isn't essential -- as I can probably get the information I need from a webpage and crunch that -- but it would be nice to know the commands haven't caused errors at runtime, and not have to mess around with the webpage if I can avoid it.Is this going to be anywhere near straightforward?TIA~bxm Edited September 25, 2006 by bluesxman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingboz Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I need to telnet to a given host,easy enough -- depending on your telnet client and its level of interactability.send a few commands, parsing the screen output to determine the current state of play,check out the Run options with regard to console interactions (stdout/stdin/stderr) Reading the help file before you post... Not only will it make you look smarter, it will make you smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lod3n Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Take a look at this:http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30125Without providing more information on what your doing, it's hard to answer your question for sure. Are you trying to telnet to a web host? Why? What problem are you trying to solve?
