    Excel 2007 DDE command send to PW5 Procomm

    Is the run-time error being displayed by VB or is that an error returned from Procomm that is reported in VB? http://www.aspectscripting.com

    Trouble with Nortel FLEN prompt in CDP Script Aspect Programming in Procomm

    One thing I've seen in the past are non-printable characters in a prompt, such that the waitfor doesn't trigger as expected. You can bring up Procomm's Monitor Window to see if you are receiving FLEN as expected, or if there is something additional in that string. I've copied some information...

    Procomm Script vs. DDE

    Is it possible you've changed the scripts directory to another value than the default directory under your Procomm install? I'm not a computer with Procomm on it at the moment, but you can check that value in the Settings dialog. http://www.aspectscripting.com

    Did you end up using "real" Kermit for the transfer or some other software? http://www.aspectscripting.com

    Procomm Plus 4.8 will not display when using a modem

    Usually when no information shows up on screen, it's a sign of an IRQ conflict. To test this, select the Data | Modem Command Mode menu item in Procomm. I'm not on a machine with a modem at the moment, but you should get set an OK response from the modem, as well as a message stating that the...

    script to send/read com port write to file

    You can use the rget command (actually usually multiple rget commands) to read data coming from the com port, but I usually find it easier to save the current screen to a text file using the snapshot command, then parse that file for the data that I'm looking for. http://www.aspectscripting.com

    Script assistance to call list of DNs for action

    Anything published in 1991 is going to be too early for the version of Procomm you have (4.8 most likely). My guess is this is the ASPECT manual from a DOS version of Procomm or maybe the first Windows version. Latter versions of Procomm didn't have a printed manual, but the help file that...

    Script assistance to call list of DNs for action

    I think there's a Nortel forum here you might try for an existing script. What you would need to do with your example is use the fopen command to open your text file and use fgets inside a while not feof loop to read each line from the file until the file has been completely read. Inside that...

    Changing Backspace key to actually delete the character

    Are you using the correct terminal emulation? What software were you using before? Sometimes the Delete key is what you need instead of the Backspace key, but regardless you can use the Keyboard Editor to set it to the necessary value. http://www.aspectscripting.com

    Updating Cisco routers. Need script to read from a separate list.

    Basically you need to wrap the "core" code of your script inside a while loop and iterate through your data source. Below is a sample script from my site that shows how to open a text file and loop through it. Your code would replace the section that starts with if not nullstr sNum and ends...

    Procomm Plus 4.7 Aspect Scripting

    I think the best solution would be to use the waituntil command (with a few others that I'll discuss in a second) to wait for 15 minutes, use the execute command to launch your script, and then return back to the main script. You could assign the value of $LTIME to a long variable at the...
