Automate application running through Putty

Posted on by ruigcosta

I will need to automate soon, using PAD, a terminal application that is run using Putty.

This means I will not be launching a terminal client, like the ones from IBM, but instead I will launch Putty and inside Putty I will open the terminal application.
I will need to send keys and extract some simple data.

Does any one knows if this can be achieved using the Terminal emulation actions?
In case this is not possible, is it possible to use scripts in VB, PS or Python to send keys, write text and extract data from specific positions?

Or I will have to use OCR to extract data?

Than you

The Terminal emulation actions will not work in this case. You will need to resort to using Send keys to navigate through the session. No point in using Scripting actions either, if you'd simply be sending keys anyway.

Avoid OCR if possible. Use it as the last resort if everything else fails.
