3.7.3 String Related Events

String related events occur when text is received from the host or displayed on the screen.You can set up string events to perform actions when a string is entered or displayed on the screen or a string is received from the host.

You set up string related events to detect the string you enter at any position on the screen or only when the string is at a specific screen position.

NOTE:Reflection initiates the specified event even if the string is masked (invisible). String detection is case sensitive and does not include line wraps.

This example shows the Events Mapper settings used to navigate through two host screens.

The first event in the sequence (When string received from host) occurs after the user logs on. It is mapped to the SendText action and configured to send the “demo” command to the host to navigate to a screen of program demos.

The next event (When screen text is recognized) occurs on the subsequent screen. It is also mapped to the SendText action and configures it to send the option list command “3” to the host to navigate to another screen. Both events are set up to be triggered once and then disabled.
