  • 1. Any way to send arbitrary keystrokes and mouse clicks in X11?
    I'd like to automate an X11 app on Linux by sending it keypresses and mouse events from a Tcl/Tk script. If it were a console app, I could probably do it with "expect", but it doesn't look like "expectk" gives any extra functionality in that direction. I see that there might be an extension, "cwind", to do that type of thing on MS Windows, but I didn't see anything similar on the wiki for Unix/X11..

tDOM nextSibling not working as expected.

Postby chedderslam » Thu, 05 Jun 2008 23:35:47 GMT

Here is the document I am parsing:

<recordset>
 <division attribute1="attribute1 value" attribute2="attribute2
value">
  <coe_division_name>MISSISSIPPI VALLEY</coe_division_name>
  <division_abbreviation>MVD</division_abbreviation>
 </division>
 <division attribute1="attribute3 value" attribute2="attribute4
value">
  <coe_division_name>DIFFERENT PLACE</coe_division_name>
  <division_abbreviation>DP</division_abbreviation>
 </division>
</recordset>

my proc runs through a recursive loop climbing down the DOM object.
When I get to the text node with the value "MISSISSIPPI VALLEY", the
value of nextSibling is blank, when it seems to me that it should not
be.  I would think it would point to the text node with the value
"MVD".

I am trying to convert the xml document to a csv file, and need to
know if there is an element after the current one, and if there is, to
add a comma to the output.  I'm just not sure how to get there.

Thanks,
Matthew

The sibling of coe_division is division_abbreviation.
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY has no sibling, nor does MVD.

Why not loop over all children of <division> each time you get a 
<division>, and then extract the elements you know must be there? If 
you're building a csv file, you have to put the same stuff on each line.

Thank you, I got it sorted.  I went up to the parent node and checked
to see if it had a sibling.

Thanks for the help.

1.tdom - not understanding "nextSibling"

I have a simple xml document:
<recordset>
 <division name="myname">
  <coe_division_name>MISSISSIPPI VALLEY</coe_division_name>
  <division_abbreviation>MVD</division_abbreviation>
 </division>
</recordset>

Whe I am parsing it and get to the node:
<coe_division_name>MISSISSIPPI VALLEY</coe_division_name>
I am running this code:
set myvar [$doc nextSibling]
however, the result is blank.

What would constitute a sibling?  How can I check if there is another
element on the same level of nesting right after the current element?

Thank you.

3.Range checking not working as expected?

4.trace does not work has expected

5.Expect not being able to work with a '$' within a variable

I have written an expect script which allows me to ssh to multiple
systems.  The expect script  is invoked through a bash script which
loops though all the systems.  The problem that I'm running into is
that the password of my systems have '$' within, so when I pass the
password to expect:

   ssh.exp system1 my$password myremotecommand

It returns with password incorrect.

I've tried escpaing the password by doing: my\$password and my\\\
$password - but when expect runs it:

set PASSWD  [lrange 1 1]

spawn ssh -p port user@system1
expect "password: "{
   sleep 1;
   send $PASSWD
}

Is it possible to escape the $ contained within the variable?
