Read the line of current prompt 1

[flipProg76]

I need to read the question on the screen in order to run specific code. I will have one of two scenarios

For example:
1) "Do you want to continue <Press Y to continue or X for exit>?" with the command prompt is waiting

2) "No data is returned <Press the desired menu number>" with the command prompt waiting

How do i read that question from the screen...does any one know the command(s) used.

Can i use 'termreads' or 'termgets'? If so how do I use it?

thanks in advance

You could use termgets or termreads to do this, but I think a piece of code another ASPECT user contributed to my site sometime in the past would work better. It uses three when target commands to watch for up to three unique strings and returns which string was received. You can download it from the below link:

Thanks for the help. I used the following. I had to put a pause in there to capture the correct text.


string sLine

pause 1
termgets $ROW 0 sLine

if strfind sLine "STRING TO SEARCH FOR"
; do code
else
; do other code
endif
