Connection directory convertion

I don't have a way to test this at the moment, but you could probably use the wintext command to get the dialog text from the active window (which would be the conversion utility), then see if it is the value displayed when the conversion is complete. Here is a sample script from the ASPECT help file to get you started:
proc main
string TextStr ; Title of the active window.
wintext $ACTIVEWIN TextStr ; Get title of active window.
usermsg "Active window title is `"%s`"." TextStr
endproc

proc main
string TextStr ; Title of the active window.
wintext $ACTIVEWIN TextStr ; Get title of active window.
usermsg "Active window title is `"%s`"." TextStr
endproc

Here's something I came up with this afternoon that does most of the work:
proc main
string sCmdLine
sCmdLine = $PWTASKPATH
strcat sCmdLine "\pwconvrt.exe"
run sCmdLine
pause 5
winactivate "Procomm Plus for Windows File Conversion Utility"
sendkeystr "c:\capnam.was"
sendkey ALT 'C'
pause 5
sendkeystr "`t"
sendkey CTRL 'C'
endproc
The first thing the script does is build the path to pwconvrt.exe, then launches the program. The pause 5 at the beginning is just to give time to switch focus from Procomm to the conversion utility. The file to convert is sent using the sendkeystr command, then Alt-C is sent to begin the conversion process. There is another five second pause to wait for the conversion to (hopefully) complete. After the conversion, focus is set to the Exit button. Sending one tab key sets focus to the results edit field. With this field conveniently highlighted for us, a Ctrl-C is sent to copy the results to the Windows clipboard. You could then use the cliptofile command to save the results to a text file for further analysis or use cliptostr to copy the results to a string. One thing to be aware of is that ASPECT is limited to 256-byte strings, so some data may be lost in the copy process.
