    Pause a script and wait for user input

    Mike, From the Python Library reference: raw_input([prompt]) If the prompt argument is present, it is written to standard output without a trailing newline. The function then reads a line from input, converts it to a string (stripping a trailing newline), and returns that. When EOF is read...

    I'm parsing a tab delimited file to enter the data fields into a point of sale system. My problem is that when a field has a &quot;\&quot; in it only the part after the &quot;\&quot; gets entered. For instance AAA\BBB appears as BBB. I know &quot;\&quot; is a reserved character and I read...

    Capturing error message during Telcom session

    I'm using ProComm/Aspect to enter data into a main frame during a telnet session. One field needs to be unique. When it's not I get an error message and the curser is pulled to the bottom until a return is entered. Then it returns focus to the field that needs to be corrected. My problem is...

    I couldn't find a thing in the Aspect help file about capturing a printer stream. For a Telnet session I was in recently I created a Generic Text printer on Windows 2000, configured it to print to file in text format. Then I ran the report to the slave printer. This worked fairly well for a...
