Hi All,

I want to simulate a pressing ENTER key through the shell script (Kshell). Could you please share your valuable thoughts on this?

Thanks

On way is to "echo" and pipe a null to your statement in the script:

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
echo "Enter something:"
echo ''| read x
echo "Script done: '$x' enter."

or just

Code:

echo "" | your_script

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have checked this, but it didn't worked in the way it is required.

Actually, when I execute my script, it navigates to a screen where the screen expects the user to press the ENTER key.

After incorporating your suggestion to my script, the script navigated me to that screen but it didn't pressed ENTER key to proceed.

Thanks
