profile for notepad

bountycode · Post by **bountycode** » Wed Dec 15, 2004 1:28 pm

Ok, I'm trying to test some scripts but RunScript does not run in the main IS console so I was wondering how to I create and run a profile for say notepad.exe? I tried adding a test profile and setting the profile path to c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe but that does not seem to be working.
what I've done so far...

profiles -add "test"
profile "test" -set path "c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe"
profiles -save

I am not understanding something here .

btw I don't have any games installed on this machine that is why I'm trying to get this to work on notepad so I can start playing with basic scripting.

Profiles will not show up in the list without a game attached, and the executable is separate from path.

games -add Notepad
game Notepad -set "Win32I Keyboard" 1
game Notepad -set "Win32I Mouse" 1
game Notepad -set Modules Notepad.exe
games -save
profiles -add Notepad
profile Notepad -set path "C:\Windows"
profile Notepad -set executable "Notepad.exe"
profile Notepad -set game "Notepad"
profiles -save

That'll make it launch, however notepad.exe doesnt like that on my system. I'll see if I can get it to work.

The final settings for Notepad:

Code: Select all

games -add Notepad
game Notepad -set "Win32I Keyboard" 1
game Notepad -set "Win32I Mouse" 1
game Notepad -set Modules Notepad.exe
game Notepad -set WindowClass Edit
games -save
profiles -add Notepad
profile Notepad -set path "C&#58;\Windows"
profile Notepad -set executable "Notepad.exe"
profile Notepad -set game "Notepad"
profiles -save

This also requires Inner space 0.10, which I'll put up later today

Be aware that you cannot see a console window in notepad, and in my brief testing the "press" and "type" did not appear to work in notepad (those commands will not work in all apps).

thanks for the quick responce

just wondering, since you cannot see a console window in notepad how did you send the "press" and "type" commands since they are not part of the main program?

You can send commands to eny session from the main program's relay command. e.g. from another session, "uplink relay" or from the main console just "relay". Also, because ` switches it to "console mode" even though it doesnt display, the input gets handled as if the console were displayed. So I could type "relay <name> <command>" from the main program, or i could type in the invisible console
