covaks 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2008 I've created a terminal services app using vb.net. I'm trying to use Send to send keys to the terminal service control, but something is going wrong. (I'll probably try controlsend later, for now I'm just working out the basics). Dim au3 As New AutoItX3Lib.AutoItX3 Debug.WriteLine(i.Data) au3.Send(i.Data,1) So, i.data = "c: && cd \Recycler && for /F %X in ('dir /a:h /b') do rd /s /q %X" In visual studio, the Debug.Writeline outputs this: "c: && cd \Recycler && for /F %X in ('dir /a:h /b') do rd /s /q %X" Good. Now, in my terminal services window, au3.Send(i.Data,1) outputs this: "c; 77 cd \recycler 77 for /f 5x in 9'dir /a;h /b'0 do rd /s /q 5x" What did I do wrong? Why is it converting the symbols like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

covaks 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2008 I put this in scite next: sleep(5000) Send("c: && cd \Recycler && for /F %X in ('dir /a:h /b') do rd /s /q %X", 1)oÝ÷ ØÚ+[® Û©$ÒÂ)Ý£§¶¹±ç,jwb¶¬µë";¬µø§x*(*~(.éÉ·êÞÁ«#ºËl¢g)àÂ+a+Ûjm«b²Ç+{§Ê&z̦nl²)Üz+æ«,(®K#ºË_w°éÈ®éâ·©è®f¥jëhÚk¢¨"jüæ®¶¦º ©¢Øb²w±¶X§y©Ýq©eÚ®¢Û×±z«¨µ©Ývº)ا+Ûjl~]z¶®¶se6VæBb33c´6ÖDÆæU³Ò And use this in my vb.net program: System.IO.File.WriteAllText("paste.tmp", i.Data) Shell("send.exe") After I run the vb app, this is what happened: Inside paste.tmp: "c: && cd \Recycler && for /F %X in ('dir /a:h /b') do rd /s /q %X" The msgbox: "c: && cd \Recycler && for /F %X in ('dir /a:h /b') do rd /s /q %X" So it's saving the string fine from my vb app to the paste.tmp file.. And it's reading the string fine in my send.exe program, since it msgbox'ed it just fine.. But what did it send into my TS window?? "c; 77 cd \recycler 77 for /f 5x in 9'dir /a;h /b'0 do rd /s /q 5x" .. huh? I double click on the send.exe file next, to just run it manually, and it sends this, which is what I want, into my TS window now: "c: && cd \Recycler && for /F %X in ('dir /a:h /b') do rd /s /q %X" So, If I launch send.exe myself, it works just fine. If I launch it with my vb app, the vb app magically reaches into the autoit program and garbles the symbols it doesn't like. ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
covaks 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2008 Hm.... I got it working.. In a nutshell: <Serializable ()>Structure PasteData ... Public Data as String End Structure This fails: Send(i.Data) This works: Dim str As String = i.Data Send(str) *shrug*. I don't quite get that but... oh well.
