Capture script and launch a keyboard macro
- Thread starter RonT1
- Start date
Are you asking how to launch Procomm and the script you wrote? If so, the command line would be <path to Procomm>\pw5.exe scriptname.wax

Thank you for the quick response Knob. I guess I should have provided my script, its a simple capture on/off I wrote:
proc main
while 1
if $carrier
capture on
transmit "^M"
transmit "password^M"
while $carrier
yield
endwhile
capture off
pause 1
endif
endwhile
endproc
This captures a file and places in on our LAN. After that I am currently launching a keyboard macro (on my C drive) which takes the file and copies it to a specific location on our Intranet.
My hopes were to launch this from the script above to save a couple of steps. Really appreciate your help.

When you say keyboard macro, do you mean a metakey defined in Procomm or something else?

OK, give me a little more information on this and I'll see if we can find a way to launch it.

Sorry Knob, I should have thought.
The marco reader I wrote myself. It and the marco are located at:
C:\Program files\My Marcos\Marco\Qwest_Test1.mac
I launch this after Procomm saves the capture file (pw01.cap as example) on the LAN.
This is then opened, copied and transferred by the macro to:
on our Intranet.
I hope this helps.

Can you launch that from the Start | Run prompt? If so, you could use ASPECT's run command to launch the macro.

I would put it after the pause 1 in your script so that it is only run if you made a connection and have disconnected.
