 |
|
Does anyone know how I could use autohotkeys to make a text file in my computer from the RS 232 output from my Uniwell TX-850 cash register?
The reason for this is that I need to create a text file to trigger a pc based credit card terminal.
The cash register prints to a serial printer at the end of each transaction, so could the data be sent in to my computer via a USB port maybe as the only com port is used by the credit card reader?
Thanks |

Managed to get the ComCap utility working finally  , with the correct wires conected from the Uniwell. Now I have to get autohotkeys to read the text file and find the word "card" on a line and copy the amount that comes after to a new text file called "input". I will let you know how I get on with it.  |
