Shell command validation

[Jean-Luc Arnaud]

Hi all,

As you may know, some shell commands need a validation from user, mainly
by hitting Enter or Return key.
For some of these commands, a /Y option matches the need.
But for the others, no /Y option. So I'm used to redirecting a simple
file containing only a CR code, something like:

CommandString=CommandString+" <"+chr(34)+f.NativePath+chr(34) '
f is a folderitem on a simple file with only a CR character

Is there another way, maybe using directly a CR character in the command
string, something like:

CommandString=CommandString+" "+Chr(13)

Of course, I tested this, unsuccessfully. Am I wrong or is this not
possible?

TIA for any help

Hello,

Just a guess, but have you tried with chr(10)? That is the Unix end of line.
Besides that, I'm not sure the shell let you enter that additional character
as is.

Thanks for replying.

Yes, I tested chr(10), chr(10)+chr(13).

In addition, I tested " echo." and " echo "+chr(13).

All unsuccessfully.

Hi,

I have never played with interactive shells in Xojo, but I think it could be a solution in this case.
You could try to declare the shell as intreactive (Shell.Mode = 2). launch it and, after a short period, send it a return using the write or writline command.

Now I don’t know if this works, and what you need to send, a \r or chr(13).
maybe also that the command writeline sends your strings with a carriage return, so an empty text sent with writeline could do the trick.

sorry but just a guess, don’t know if it could work this way

Great!

You're a Genius, Giulio.

This works perfectly writing a Chr(13)

Thanks a lot, Grazie mille!

It may be that it requires a "Y" answer instead of just a physical ENTER. Try using the "yes" command:

CommandString="yes | " + CommandString

I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding: I'm working under Win7, not Linux.
And "Yes" is not a recognized DOS command.

_Windows Shell command validation : Summary_

It seems like only two possibilities exist:

- Using a file with a simple CR, and a redirection:
MyShell.Mode=1
MyShell Execute CommandString+" <"+chr(34)+f.NativePath+chr(34)

- Using Giulio's technic, with an interactive shell (mode 2) and a Write
Chr(13) command:
MyShell.Mode=2
MyShell.Execute CommandString
DelayMBS 1 ' One second delay
MyShell.Write Chr(13)

Of course, some commands may have an optional /Y or -Y parameter or
something like that. With such a command, no problem (i.e. format,
copy,...).
Nevertheless, keep in mind that old Win OS (like Windows 2000) do not
accept /Y parameter in some commands (specially in 'format' command).

Many thanks to all of you, special thanks to Giulio.
