Newbie: NET SEND & Starting Perl script

[tigerduck 0]

Hi all,

i am a newbie with scripting. and i have 2 questions.

1) i try to script a GUI with a textfield. insert text should be send by net send.

...

;this is where i enter a text

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Text", 20, 60, 30)

$TEXT = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 20, 80, 450, 100, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL + $WS_VSCROLL + $ES_MULTILINE + $ES_WANTRETURN)

GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Bitte Text eingeben.")

.....

how can i include that to...

Case $MSG = $BTN_SEND

Run("net send someuser")

2) i have a perl script on a server.

http://SOMEWHERE/sh/ns-install.pl

how can i start it, by pressing a button?

thanks a lot.

1) Read the text of your edit box with GUICtrlRead($EDIT). Example:

Case $MSG = $BTN_SEND
     $TextRead = GUICtrlRead($EDIT)
     Run("net send someuser " & $TextRead)

2) Not sure what you mean by "start it". Do you just want to access that URL? Cus if so, you can just go like this:

Case $MSG = $BTN_PERL; I'm pretending this is the button you want to push
     ShellExecute("http://somewhere/sh/ns-install.pl")
