does anybody know about Win32::GuiTest module ??

[tikesh]

hello everyone,
this mail is related to Win32::GuiTest module ...
i am facing some problems in using winguitest.
i want to know whether we can disble the special meaning of characters
like ~, % etc.... one way is given in the document to put {} around the
character, but it can not help me. i am writing program as follows
------------------------------------------------------
open (test, "some_file");
while (<test>) {
Win32::GuiTest::SendKeys($_);
}
-------------------------------------------------------

now the problem is, "some_file" may contain characters like ~ , %
etc... that i want to send as literal characters without special
meaning ..... if somebody have some solution to my problem please let
me know ......

i have another problem -- i couldn't read the text of a word file using
the example of "notepad_test.pl". in this example following line is
being used
my @edits = FindWindowLike($notepad, "", "Edit");
what should i use in place of "Edit" to get the text from a word file
and how would i know the class i should use to get text from the
perticular application ?? please help me ....

my another problem is --
my perl script doesn't work when the system is locked.. i tried to
search on the group if anybody else also had the same problem. i found
that may other people had the same problem and they posted mails to
find some solution. but i couldn't see any mail in which any solution
to this problem is suggested... i want to use script to interact with
the system when i am not there and i can't leave my system unlocked
.... have anybody got any solution to this problem ?? please let me know
if u have any solution....
thanks and regards

Use the three-argument form of open and test for failure:

open (test, "<", "some_file")
or die("Opening some_file failed, reason: $!");

What do you mean by "locked"?

i tried to
search on the group if anybody else also had the same problem. i found
that may other people had the same problem and they posted mails to
find some solution.

You should have given us your search terms. Where did you search? What
were the search terms? What are the URLs of the messages that you found?

but i couldn't see any mail in which any solution
to this problem is suggested... i want to use script to interact with
the system when i am not there and i can't leave my system unlocked
.... have anybody got any solution to this problem ?? please let me know
if u have any solution....

You might be talking about what happens when Windows is not logged into
any account; I doubt user programs can be run when no one is logged into
an account. You can probably log into your account, start your programs
and initiate the screensaver in "lock" mode.

Caveat: I'm not a regular Windows user, but I've installed and
configured Windows for family.

by locked i mean screen saver is running and password is needed to do
anything on your PC .... and i doubt if u are understanding that all
the things i am talking in this mail is regarding the module
Win32::GuiTest .... so i searched the terms - locked windows guitest
etc......

A knowledgeable Windows user will have to help you get Win32::GuiTest
working while the screensaver is locked. Good luck.
