Using IE Commands?

I've just upgraded from MS8x to MS11 Pro. Recently I've seen references in these forums to various IE commands - IE_Navigate, etc.

I can't seem to find any documentation on these commands though. Is there anything in the new help file or online?

thanks,
Tim

Hi Bob,

HyperTerminal does indeed capture text to a file. Unfortunately though, it doesn't write it's buffer until you stop the capture.

I guess I could try stopping the capture every 5 seconds or so, then parsing it.

I'll give that a try...


thanks

Hyperterminal Scripting

Has anyone ever tried to automate a HyperTerminal session? I'd like to be able to check for the certain text strings that appear when logging into the remote host. I've made some progress using "GetControlText" to monitor the connection status, but I can't get access to the actual data stream. Any t...

My Windows XP Home Edition has the following TABS.

Applications | Processes | Performance | Networking | Users

Also, TM remembers which TAB you were on last. Therefore, you may want to perform at least 4 Left Arrows before moving right three.

bug: v7.2.050 / File Save in Editor

I have discovered what I believe to be a bug in the script editor... An original script gets written over when a second script is opened/saved. Here's how to see the problem. (make sure you have a backup!) Launch Macro Scheduler Select a script. Launch the Editor While in the Editor, do a "File, Ope...

At first I figured the CapsON & CapsOFF commands would just set the keys. When I looked closer at the commands, I realized that I could indeed accomplish my goal. All I had to do was adjust the logic a bit in my script.

How easy was that!!

Obviously I didn't fully read the description of those commands.

Thanks so much.

Very interesting approach! Hyperterminal can't capture to the clipboard. However, based on your concept, Im going to try this. 1. begin text capture to a temp file. 2. perform Readln on temp file until trigger is encountered. 3. stop text capture to temp file 4. start text capture to final file I'll...

During this terminal session, the user must request a report. It then takes from 5 to 30 seconds before the report begins. I prefer to begin Hyperterminal's text capture command when a certain string is encountered on the report. Otherwise, I'll end up having to capture a bunch of preliminary user i...
