telnet without sendkeys
 

hi
i wish to telnet to a unix server, execute some commands and get the
results onto excel range. I have tried opening telnet application using
sendkeys but its not what i want. Any other ways or some Active X
controls that might let me do this task?

either get yourself an windows based telnet client that supports
automation... just find some shareware you like.

OR..use batchfile approach:

eg.
excel creates batchfile.
excel starts batchfile

batchfile start telnet
telnet create a results/logfile
batchfile create done.txt

excel waiting for done.txt in delayed loop
then process the resultsfile.

You can possibly use the Windows API to control Telnet - there are commands
to activate windows and to access the menus, etc. but it would take quite a
bit of advanced programming to get it to work. For more information you can
