I'm working on a robot that will work on a 5250 terminal IBM Mainframe.
Using application modeller I am able to identify specific fields that needs to be filed whit text(userId) numbers(function number) but I cant accept those values by pressing an "Enter".
How can I send in key to Terminal via Blue Prism??? When I'm using an action step in Object Studio, all I can do whit identified elements is "verify" them.
You have to use Navigate Stage. Action will be "Global Send keys".
The text is "[ENTER]".
If you want to use Function 1-12, then you have to use Text: "[pf1-12]".

It has been a while since I coded a little bit and I only use Mac for a couple of weeks.
Here is what I would like to do:
I have a spreadsheet with email addresses, subjects and text bodies for an email.
I can summarize this data in a way that I have a cell that is filled with
to=foo#nowhere.net,subject='test subject',body='test body'
Now, I would like to copy this line to clipboard and create a keyboard shortcut to run this code
cd /Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/
./thunderbird -compose "CLIPBOARD CONTENT"
I would like to use this to automatically create an email based on the (dynamic) content of the spreadsheet.
Is this possible or does anyone have a better idea how to create such emails? I have tried to work with mailto-links but it does not work because there is some more complexity to the spreadsheet which makes it impossible.
Thank you!
This workflow works from within Automator (even though I feel it's kind of buggy). Unfortunately, when I call it using a shortcut from within other apps it throws an error:
Found the cause of my error 212:
The of front workflow statement does not work from outside Automator because then, it is not the front workflow anymore. I had to do a workaround that does not use this statement...
Our application runs on oracle 10g. When we want to print a report after filling the oracle form fields we do the following process:
1. save the file (when it is saved it opens in a new tab)
2. hit control+p (print preview is shown)
3. hit enter (command goes to printer)
Now we want to directly send command to the printer so that the print preview is not shown at all.
You can accomplish this by using the ORARRP utility. Unfortunately, you must have access to Oracle Support to view this support document.
Note that the bottom of the support document specifies a change to orarrp.ini to prevent the print preview from showing.

I have an old DOS application which accepts some files as input, does some calculations and saves results into file system. This app uses terminal as sort of GUI, where you can choose input files, types of calculations to perform and choose where to save the result. I don't know the logics behind calculations and am not able to reuse them in a new project.
The problem is that the users of this app want a modern looking GUI which will be easier to work with.
That is why, I have an idea to create an adapter which will translate button clicks into commands in DOS and grab text output to show in modern GUI.
Is it possible and where should I start from?
It is possible. How to start from depends on your programming Tools. If you use a RAD tool like Delphi or Lazarus or Visual Besic or ... then make your GUI design first and define Events after. For a Button click it is ButtonXClick(); In the RAD tool you will find a object inspector with properties and ther values and Events and their values. Go to Events page there, look for onClick-event. Double click there in the value line and you will get an empty Event handler, wehre you can write your Code for your application.
If you dont have or use such RAD tool, take a GUI Framework for DOS. Create your frontend and write your Code which is to call in Dependance of your button clicks.
Using VBScript, I want to add an additional button to Notepad labeled “send” . The send button should be located near the help menu in the Notepad window
Please advise if it is possible to add a button inside Notepad. And if it possible then how can I create the button using VBScript?
Note - why I need to add the send button: The purpose of the send button is to send the file opened in Notepad to a remote Linux machine over the network.
This is not possible with VBScript. You could possibly manage to add the button, but you couldn't hook anything to respond to it being clicked.
You could probably hack something together using the native Win32 API, but it's more work to do that than it would be to write your own simple editor in any other language and use it instead of Notepad. (Notepad is simply a thin wrapper around a multiline edit control provided by the Windows API.)
It's Impossible via VBScript but with help of more serious languages like c# or c++ freely:
for example see project of my friend:

If an application exposes a Text Service (for example, one that would normally paste the time of day inside the text field of an application such as TextEdit), how to programmatically access this service from an Applescript and capture this text in a variable ?
Normally, there would have to be an entry in the Dictionary to give access to any function. If there is a function that isn't made available then there is GUI scripting, scripting the actual mouse and keyboard clicks to get to something in the menu system, but that there are many new issues that will have to be worked around. There is an excellent starter tutorial here: http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/index.html
