ASCII from COM port to be used as 'keyboard' inputs

[Eidos]

Hi guys an gals

Do any of you know an elegant way to take ascii values from the com port and interpret them as keyboard input in another program?

If I may be more clear, we've gotten it right to read in ascii from a microprocessor into MATLAB but we would like to read in values which are to interpreted as keyboard input in adobe flash.

Any thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated

Under dos you could do this with the CTTY command.
Under windows it might be a bit trickier, there is some software called keyinjector butI haven't used it.

Hey thanks a lot!



Keyinjector did the trick, we've got it working now.
