I have a program, test, in which you need to enter the character 'y', followed by pressing <enter>.
I have a second program which runs the program, test, in the terminal, but I'm having serious issues of entering the character 'y' (and the enter)...:(
This is as close as I've got so far:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
FILE *terminal;
char *name;
name = ttyname(0);
terminal = fopen( ttyname(0), "w" );
system( "./test %s", name );
fprintf( terminal, "y\r" );
fclose(terminal);
return 0;
}
- This will run the correct program to the correct terminal, and then print 'y' once you exit the program.
- Is there any way to get it to type the 'y' in the program (as though you open up the program, then hit 'y' and <enter> on the keyboard)?
Cheers for any light shed on the issue.
