Title: hals output to another program
Post by: peace on February 18, 2016, 10:00:04 pm

this is a plugin to send hals output to another program
it copys hals responce to clipboard opens a vbs which opens a program ,pastes hals responce from clipboard and closes the program to return to hal.

r2d2 text to beep is the revised version and should work with all versions of windows for this to work edit the file location in the uhp to match your folders and paste r2d2 translator.exe and r2d2 text to beep.uhp
in you ultr hal folder .........i only have it read about 5 seconds of text which is not enough to read the entire message from hal but i did this so you arent waiting all the time for the beeps to finish. you can adjust this by changeing the amount of time before the translator closes.

How do you define where the text is being pasted?

Actually I got it to work, but it doesn't auto paste or open the directed program. It does open the vbs file and puts the text in the clipboard but that's as far as it goes.

Good work so far!

the .exe file has to be named exactly as it is in the vbs also the path has to be the same. it works for me hope you can use it. thanks

I found I didn't set the vbs to run as a windows command. Got it working, Good work! Thanks... Now If I could find a way to do the reverse from another program.

I had attempted to use autohotkey for my own work around for having text copied to the clip board and then to hals input box, but never quite got it to work. Perhaps one of you fine folks may have better luck?

i was messing around with hals output to another program and realized this pluggin requires the "clip" command and will only work with certain versions of windows. i dont think it will work with windows xp 32 but it will with xp 64 and win 7, im not sure if it will work with later versions........

With Windows 10 being current and versions 7 and 8 and 8.1 behind us, Microsoft no longer supports XP I have to wonder how many people are still using XP? :o
