Just learning how to use macros, so bare with me.
I'm using tera term to communicate with a PCB running a self test.
The test is started in a macro for easy of use for the operator.
I would like to copy the pass/fail status line of the test, and send the operator this message (messagebox), but having difficulty getting this to function.
Thought I could use the strcopy command, but have been unsuccessful. Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

Whenever I run my program on a ABAP debugger -without setting a breakpoint- it starts executing the program from the SAP ABAP programs running under my program and I have to keep pressing F5/F6 to get to start of my code. This wastes my time.
How do I let ABAP debugger know I want to start right from the start of my own code, and I do not want to debug SAP code.
There are two options:
You might want to raise a SAPnet issue since this might be considered a bug in the processing of the statement BREAK-POINT ... AT NEXT APPLICATION STATEMENT
You might want to take a look at Layer Aware Debugging, which does come in handy for other situations as well.
If you use SE38 to start your ABAP-Program there you find a DEBUGGING-Button.
Currently, I have a spreadsheet which uses an external program to do calculations (let's say it's an aerodynamic calculation tool). In Excel VBA, I update the inputs to the program via a UDF at the spreadsheet level ( =input("var1",1.234)).
Then, using VBA, I write the input file, run the external .exe, and read the output file. Outputs are again reported to the spreadsheet level via a UDF (=output("var2"))
I would like to use the Excel Solver function to make an optimization of the spreadsheet. Here, I would like it to change the input values ( via the =input() function) to get the optimum in the outputs (via the =output() function). The solver should be able to change the inputs, wait for the new calculation to be made (via the external .exe) and then resume when it gets the outputs.
So far I've found no reliable way to make it work. The Excel solver does not know that it needs to wait for the .exe to finish, even when I embed the shell(.exe) command in the input UDF....the solver still plows through as if nothing was happening.
Expectedly, it comes up with bunk since the output is out of sync with the input. I've pried open the SOLVER.XLAM (...ahemm..) to find a way to insert a wait statement, but that wasn't much help; the interface ends where the VBA interfaces with the SOLVER.dll, which places hooks into Excel to run the Excel calculation directly from the .dll ...so no help to me.
So far I'm stumped. Nobody seems to have encountered this before. I've tried looking into OpenSolver.org version, but they also end at some mysterious .dll or .exe interface. Any ideas?
(BTW: I have no access to the external program code, if you're wondering.... an .exe and some text files is all I get).
OpenSolver should work if you use the NOMAD solver, which does all calculations directly inside the spreadsheet. See http://opensolver.org/non-linear-nomad-integration/ for more information.
Basically, I want a free testing program that will allow me to create MANUAL tests with a series of steps where I can mark steps as passed or failed. I would like it to behave much like SpiraTest but it must be Non-web based.
In other words, I might write a test like:
Step Description Expected Actual Pass/Fail
1. Run Program Program should start Pass
2. Click Open Open dialog displays Pass
3. Select file Program opens file Pass
Anyone know if such a thing exists?
And no, I do not want any automated testing stuff, this must be manual user testing. Thanks!
I use Excel / Spreadsheet for recording detailed test steps. I think that should pretty well solve your problem.
I am using a Tera Term over a serial port to do some testing on a board. Recently I found out I can do some scripting in Tera Term so I have been doing research to help automate and make testing a little easier.
I know Tera Term has a site that lists example macros as well as a command list but I guess what I need is someone with experience scripting in Tera Term.
Tera Term uses a sort of Basic language called Tera Term Language (TTL) but I found it hard from the site to actually identify which commands I needed to use.
Tera term site: http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/ < -- Note: Site is in Japanese but I always have it auto translated...
I am trying to develop a script to play a set of tracks using a "play x" command, where x is the track index. Ideally the track will play for ~3 seconds and then increment up to the next track. I have a very crude outline algorithm that I should describe it.
Algorithm:
;start
;input to take in number of track to test n tracks
;input is stored in "n"
i=0
do while i < (n+1)
;play track i for 3 seconds
i++
end while
;stop
If anyone has any insights or experience with Tera term I would be very appreciative.
If anything right now I need to figure out how to take an inputbox input and store it to a variable. I can probably figure out the rest...
Thanks
OK, I did some digging and found a moderately active forum: http://logmett.com/forum/
It is there that I found a nice thread called: TeraTerm Macro Language for dummies...
http://logmett.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2133
That, and the command list on the actual TeraTerm project site is where I have been troubleshooting and solving 90% of my issues.
To take in a user defined input you use the "inputbox" command, which follows the format:
inputbox 'message' 'title' [default]
(not entirely sure what default is supposed to be doing)
E.G.
inputbox 'Please type input' 'Input'
a dialog box will appear and prompt a response. This input is sent to a default variable inputstr
I have gotten this variable to work in some cases but I think the problem is that the variable is technically a string type so I can't do traditional loops. I need to figure out a way to use the str2int command to do an expression.
I think that answers my own immediate question as well as provide some reference for others...
Thanks
After repeated searching I have not found an elegant solution to this issue: how to run a shell command in obj-c and get it's output. I have read many questions regarding this, but they all fail to answer my question.
Some get the exit value ( Get result from shell script objective-c ) others only run the command ( Cocoa/ Objective-C Shell Command Line Execution ), and finally others have me write the output to a file ( Execute a terminal command from a Cocoa app ).
I really would like to avoid writing/reading a file as it not a very clean solution.
Is there no way to read the output directly in obj-c? If so how?
The code from "doshellscript" from the first link (Get result from shell script objective-c) actually does return an NSString with the output of the command. If it's not working for you, maybe the command is outputting over stderr rather than stdin? Have you tried this yet? The standard mechanism for running commands in Cocoa is NSTask, so definitely at least start there.
Look at the class PRHTask. It is a replacement of NSTask, with completion blocks. https://bitbucket.org/boredzo/prhtask
Extract from the header:
First, rather than having to set your own pipe for standard output and error, you can tell the task to accumulate the output for you, and retrieve it when the task completes.
Second, when the process exits, rather than posting an NSNotification, a PRHTask will call either of two blocks that you provide. You can set them both to the same block if you want.
If your task needs admin privileges, you might want to look at STPrivilegedTask.
