I'm not sure I understand just what you need to do.

Is this a shell script or a dos batch file?

I want the script to "Hit" Enter after it passes a few commands....

I don't have a batch file or shell script that does that so I have no functional example.

I wonder if..

echo .

or something similar would work?

Hi! Joe,

I don't have a batch file or shell script that does that so I have no functional example.

When I was still using DOS, I used to use a BFDS util called qECHO to do this...

qECHO " to <%TMPDRV%\FileFix.txt" CR LF >>%TMPDRV%\NetMgr0%NODE%.Cfg

You might note the action is implanting a '<' redirection symbol into a disk file (normally illegal in DOS), and the use of a 'CR LF' sequence. No guarantees, but I think qECHO could help you.

If you had/have a BFDS repository (old file echo thing) near you, then look for a util called 'horst32' (about 61Kb, with a swag of other DOS utils). Or, you might like to FREQ this node for either horst32 or horst32.zip - if you can't do FREQ netmails, let me know & I'll forward it you.

Cheers,
Paul.

I figured it out.... added a | at the end of the line...

Must be an OS/2 thing. I didn't read the kludges in your note till well after hitting [Send]. Thanks for that.

Cheers,

Writing a script...

what kind of script? since you posted this in the frontdoor area, i'm guessing maybe something to do with scripted ftp transfers?

and here's a simple question....

they're all simple in the beginning... it is when the details are finally forthcoming that they aren't all so simple any more ;)

how do I add a carrage return at the end of the statement??

that depends... some add it automatically... others require something like \r\n, or just \n or just \r... it depends...

that's a whole other kettle of fish than what your original question appeared to ask...

what is supposed to trigger this keystroke entry?
