Simple script request

Hey all.

I'm looking for an easy executable file that will send a CTRL-r signal to the tablet.

How could this be written?

Thank you!

Re: Simple script request

I'm not sure if xautomation is available for the N810, but a simple script would be

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# Simple script to send a CTRL-R command



xte 'keydown Control_L' 'key r' 'keyup Control_L'

You would need to install xautomation first, then you just save the above script as (for example) controlplusr.sh and make this file executable by entering

Code:

chmod +x /path/to/file/controlplusr.sh

This needs to be performed as root.

There may be easier ways of achieving what you want. I'm not familiar with the N810, but there may already be a program available that will issue a custom command.

Re: Simple script request

Joy!

That worked!

Eep! :D

Re: Simple script request

Okay. Last question.

What would the script look like that will automatically type this on the screen?

search
<Return Key>

Thanks again marxian!

Re: Simple script request

Oh, c'mon, don't be so lazy :D
Just extrapolate the script:
xte 'key s'
xte 'key e'
....
:P

Re: Simple script request

Wow.

My brain must seriously be leaking to not have seen that! *lol*

Re: Simple script request

Nice thing xautomation
I have uploaded the xautomation package to extras-devel, so there is no need to search binaries around the forum
apt-get install xautomation

Re: Simple script request

Thanks Mac!

Yeah, I really like xautomation.

It makes running macro scripts super easy.

I think I'm going to try using this with Tiny Fugue later this week and see how all that goes. :)

Re: Simple script request

One more question... How can I do a super long string with this?

I have it as

[1|user@Nokia-N800-43-7|~]xte 'str "test"'
""X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 132 (XTEST)
Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (X_XTestFakeInput)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 17
Current serial number in output stream: 32

I take it that I'm not using the format correctly?

Anyway, I would like xte to rifle off all of this at once:

javascript:isIE=/*@cc_on!@*/false;isIE ? swfHTML=document.getElementById('movie_player').ge tElementsByTagName('param')[1].value:swfHTML=document.getElementById("movie_play er").getAttribute("flashvars");w=swfHTML.split("&" );for(i=0;i<=w.length-1;i++)if(w[i].split("=")[0] == "url_encoded_fmt_stream_map"){links=unescape(w[i].split("=")[1]);break;}abc = links.split(",url=");for(i=0;i<=abc.length-1;i++){fmt=abc[i].split("|")[0];if ((fmt.indexOf("flv") > 0) && (fmt.indexOf("large") <= 0) && (fmt.indexOf("medium") <= 0)){if (fmt.indexOf("rl=") > 0){url = fmt.substring(4,fmt.indexOf("fallback_host")-1);url = unescape(unescape(url));break;}else{url = fmt.substring(0,fmt.indexOf("fallback_host")-1);url = unescape(unescape(url));break;}}}combineurl = url;combineurl = combineurl + '&title=' + ((((document.title.replace('#',' ')).replace('@',' ')).replace('*',' ')).replace('|',' ')).replace(':',' ');window.location.href = combineurl.substring(0, 2000);

Cheers!

But.... xte "str test1" shows testq as result, because the "1" key is really the "q" key.
The correct command to get test1 is xte "str test" "keydown ISO_Level·_Shift" "str 1" "keyup ISO_Level3_Shift"
So you know now what task is to get that huge string :eek:
