Re: code for control+...?

I need to write a expect script where the pressing of the control key+ something needs to be detected. The man page has an example set CTRLZ \032 where the code \032 corresponds to Control-Z. Now, how can I know the codes corresponding to other combinations (e.g. Control-space)? TIA, Greetings, Get yourself an ascii table. Here's a pretty one but you can google for others if you like. http://www.mindspring.com/~joeja/programs.html#PHP The first column shows the control codes produced by the alpha keys in the third column. The keys in the second column don't produce control codes. The lowercase keys either don't produce control codes or produce the same codes as the uppercase key. I'm not sure which. For example, the Z key (132 octal) produces the SUB control character (032 octal).

Are you still running Wiindows 2000, NT 4.0 or 98SE operating system in your office and need more PC's with the same? Unfortunately, you won't find any new PC's with these operating systemsmdash;Microsoft stopped installing these OS's last summer. Don't worry--we have an even better solution for you. A new PC installed with Microsoft Windows XP Professional will let you downgrade to one of these previous OS versions so your office can continue to run on the same Win 2000, NT 4.0 or 98SE operating system. Later, when you decide you want to run Windows XP Pro, just reinstall it. This is all FREE when you buy a new PC with Windows XP Pro preinstalled. Microsoft calls this Downgrade Rights and you'll automatically have them with a new Systemax PC installed with Windows XP Pro. Microsoft Downgrade Rights allow you to purchase a new PC loaded with Windows XP Professional but downgrade and use Windows 2000, NT 4.0 or 98SE operating system on your new PC. When you are ready to do so, you have the ability to upgrade back to Windows XP Professional at any time in the future. Windows NT and Windows 98 are no longer preinstalled on PC's. Downgrade Rights provide companies that are not currently able to migrate to a more current operating system the ability to use the companys preferred OS until there is a more efficient time to migrate. When the company is ready to migrate to Windows XP Pro, there are no additional costs or licensing requirements. Flexibility - Purchase Windows XP Professional loaded on a PC today and use a previous operating system version until you are ready to migrate to Windows XP Professional. Save Money - Invest in Windows XP Professional today and use multiple operating systems for the price of one.
