I keep coming back to the idea of controlling multiple Ruby/Watir
scripts with Perl, because Perl can launch each script in its own
Windows process, and doesn't have to deal with threads and
thread-safety. system(1,"foo") just rocks, and until Ruby gets one, I
really like using Perl's. I do it to handle logon popups, but if you
don't need to, get rid of the GuiTest/SendKeys part:
use warnings;
use strict;
use Win32::GuiTest qw(FindWindowLike SetForegroundWindow SendKeys );
my $x = 0;
system (1, "ruby c:/myscript.rb");
while (1) { #INFINITE LOOP
sleep 2; #CHECK FOR NEW WINDOW EVERY 2 SEC
my @windows = FindWindowLike(0, "^Logon Right Here");
for (@windows) {
SetForegroundWindow($_); #BRING THE RIGHT WINDOW IN FOCUS JUST IN CASE
SendKeys("user");
SendKeys("{TAB}");
SendKeys("password");
SendKeys("{ENTER}");
$x = 1;
}
exit if $x == 1;
}
