Hi, all,
I am attempting to open the terminal emulator PuTTY and send a command through the PuTTY terminal using a Matlab script. I am able to open PuTTY and even open a predefined, saved serial session in Matlab (called "serialsessoin" in script below), but I'm uncertain how to go about writing Matlab code to send a command through PuTTY once the terminal emulator is open. Ultimately, I'd like to open the PuTTY terminal window and send a single "enter" key through the terminal.
In my script below, a1 is a binary "1" (aka command unsuccessfully sent) or "0" (aka command successfully sent), and b1 is the output of the command. I've attempted to use Matlab's fprintf function to send PuTTY a carriage return through Matlab, but I realize that my fprintf function isn't explicitly directed to the PuTTY terminal. And while I recognize my fprintf function isn't used quite right to begin with, I run into a problem even before the fprintf function: as long as the PuTTY terminal window is open, the first line of code is never passed, so the fprintf function is never reached until I manually close the PuTTY terminal window!
So, in short, my question is this: how can I pass a command through the PuTTY terminal using a Matlab script?
Any ideas would be great. Thanks!
Sam

[a1 b1] = system('"C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\putty.exe" -load "serialsession"');
fprintf(eval('\n'))
