I'm curious if it is possible to send text to a window or web
application. I am using the firewatir library, but I don't think you
can do it with that, so just wondering if it is possible with Ruby
itself. Thanks!

AutoItX is also very handy for scripting Windows apps and the Win32 API.

See http://groups.google.com.kh/group/ruby-talk-google/msg/ca78a0fcf1015a05

for an earlier post I made on this.

If I'm allowed to promote myself...
I wrote a library wrapped around AutoItX3, available as the au3 gem[1].
For Linux systems I wrote xdo (based on the xdotool commandline tool),
but that's undergoing a heavy rework at the moment.

Vale,
Marvin

Thanks Marvin! I'll have to check out your xdo tool as I am on a
linux box.
