Send strings to a DOS window
- Thread starter mickey21

I think I've played around with this before and although you can paste manually into a DOS window, I was never able to get a script to do so using termkey and associated commands. I'll give this another try tonight to see if I can find a different way to do so.

Sorry I wasn't able to get around to this. I played around with sendkey and sendvkey some more with no luck, then found this note in the help file with regard to the sendvkey command:
Keystrokes cannot be sent to a DOS compatibility window.
I did a quick search of a couple freeware/shareware sites to see if there was a utility that could take a string via a the command line and paste it into a DOS window, but didn't see anything offhand.
