Script Command: send

Format:

send "string";

This command sends the characters in "string" to the host.

The "string" can include control characters. To specify a control character, prefix it with the caret (^). For example, ^M sends a control-M which also equates to the ENTER key. You can also mix regular text with control characters in the same string.

Send strings can also include runtime macros. You may create a runtime macro with the inputbox command. A runtime macro stores the user's input from the input box. You must prefix the runtime macro name with a ^! in the send string. Runtime macros must be uppercase and can contain only letters or the underscore symbol.

Examples:

// Send the word "Hello" to the host:
send "Hello";
// Send the runtime macro NAME to the host:
send "^!NAME";        
// Send "Hello" ENTER "Bye" ENTER:
send "Hello^MBye^M";
