Calling all IT nerds... Need a terminal program that...

[Corbin Dallas]

Uhmm....this isn't a basic need.

WYSIWYG is not a basic need.

CLI is.

At least in my world...

[bigmike82]

Oh yeah, CLI is. But com-port control via CLI is definitely a niche requirement for what you're doing. Putty, as you said, supports CLI, just not on COM.

Good luck though. Have you come up with anything doable?

[lazyworm]

I think now I understand what you're trying to do.

how about a totally different route...

1. download and install perl (dos) ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/curr...u/perl588b.zip (13M, zipped) You can probably strip it down further.

2. Install module like Device-Model http://search.cpan.org/~cosimo/Devic...vice-Modem.pod

3. Write a script to read from and write to the model as you wanted.

So I think my brain took a mental vacation while I was working on serialterm...

I went back and got the source code so I could fix the com port issue and re-compile the C++...

and what do I see at the end of the com line? /n

OMG, I'm a F'ing idiot...

Tried it again on a machine I know has a high number com port and BINGO, it works...

I'm going to go sit in the corner with my hat now...



Where's the smack myself icon???

procom?

winfiol? CLI manager?

Putty may not support CLI to COM directly

However if you save a putty com port session, you can call that saved session from the command line putty.exe -load "my session"

What you want is QVT/Term.
