reading the screen

[Matta25]

Has anyone done this:
When connected to a BBS with procomm and the BBS echos back to the screen "AECN: RECEIVED CLAIMS" I need to have an If statement to watch for this and if this echos to the screen then termmsg a "Successful", Else termsg a "UnSuccessful".
Thanks.

If the string always appears in a consistent manner (i.e. in response to a command you will always be sending), then you could use and if waitfor/endif structure. Otherwise, you would likely want to use a when target command that then calls a procedure that issues the termmsg command.

Do you have an example of the when target command?

Here's an example I copied from the help file:

proc main
when TARGET 0 "First?" call FirstName
when TARGET 1 "Last?" call LastName
while $CARRIER ; Loop while connected.
yield ; Release ASPECT process time
endwhile
endproc

proc FirstName
transmit "John^M" ; Transmit first name.
endproc

proc LastName
transmit "Doe^M" ; Transmit last name.
endproc
