Greetings all,
I am having trouble with a little project i am working on I have a serial barcoder, on /dev/ttyS0, which i can read from fine from a little perl program or by just using cat on the port. My problem is that i need to direct the output of the serial port to the keyboard, so anything you barcode goes to the active window in either KDE or gnome. Has anyone done anything like this before our EE guy here suggested writing an xwindows event handler that would watch the port but I just keep thinking i gotta be able to do this with perl somehow or another. I have looked around the web and anytime you search for barcode scanner all you get back is about hacking your cuecat :-( any ideas appreciated BigGuy "One World, one Web, one Program" - Microsoft promotional ad "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer" - Adolf Hitler In reply to serial barcode scanner + perl by BigGuy
