Subject: writing a script to simulate keyboard input
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 11:48:58 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0707191142490.11409@localhost> (raw)

Hello,

I have to use an archaic, menu-driven C program that requires keyboard 
input to process commands (all of these commands are terminated by a 
newline)

I was wondering if there was any way I could use the program within a 
script so that I could have the script "feed" in the sequence of 
keystrokes/string-inputs that I must otherwise type in manually?

As ever, all help/advice is appreciated.


Thanks,

-K
