Capturing keyboard Scancodes from console

Hello,
I had tried captuaring what would be the scan code for left arrow by using Java.I used the System.in.read().but that did not help.
If some one is aware of how to get these scancodes from the console in Java,please let me know about that.
Thank you.

I fear this is not possible. The left arrow appears to be interpreted by the JVM as though you wish to move your input cursor one space to the left.
The way mine is working is the JVM won't actually send the input data, through System.in to the application code, until I enter a newline (hit enter). If I type "123<enter>" I get the three ascii codes for the numbers 1, 2, and 3, plus the linefeed (a 10). If I type "123<leftarrow><enter>", the JVM only passes in a 1 and a 2, along with the linefeed.
Perhaps someone has more insight on how the console input works, and whether there are any hooks or setting we can futz with to change its behavior.
Scan codes are of course very simple to get when dealing with AWT/Swing, by listening for key events, then interrogating the event data. But that's not a solution to this.

  • Keyboard input from console

    I have a swing GUI application which must show content reflecting to keyboard input.
    Input must be readed from System.in. When I type anything in console it works, but when
    I switch to GUI then keyboard input doesnt go to System.in. Any ideas how to solve this problem?
    Make keyboard input go to System.in while looking the GUI?
    Thank you in advance.

    I registred JFrame as keydispatcher and everything worked fine, except the fact that every keystroke got catched in dispatchEvent() three times.
    What concept am I missing? How to get one occurance of each keyevent?

  • Doubt      getting i/p from KeyBoard (Not from console)

    Hi Techies,
    I want to know that how to get the i/p from KeyBoard always ant to store it in txt file (i know the getting i/p and store it in file --basic concepts)  .

    If i'm working in different applications ,my java code should work (get the typed charac from KB and store it in file ) what is the way to solve this
    Urgent

    hi tsith
    Is they have any way to solve this using JVM
    you will likely need to write something closer to the
    platform you want this key logger to run on. Java's
    JVM makes writing code that deals with other
    processes difficult.
    Good Luck

  • Keyboard input or Console Output

    I'm self teaching java... I got stuck with one of the exercises that is supposed to demonstrate the basic input and output through entering data on console...
    I went about writing the code as:
    public class Program2 {
    public static void main(final String [ ] args) {
    KeyboardInput in = new KeyboardInput () ;
    System.out.print ("Type your name: ") ;
    It doesn't compile:((((.... it says "KeyboardInput" is not a type...
    I would really appreciate if somebody could respond to this silly problem.

    For keyboard input from console the program would be
    public class Console{
      public static void main(String[] args){
        try{
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
          System.out.print("Enter Your Name: ");
          String name = reader.readLine();
          System.out.println("Your Name is "+name);
        }catch(Exception ex){
          ex.printStackTrace();
    }

  • Read characters from console.

    Hii
    I'm trying for 2 days to read characters from console on the fly, but it didn't work.
    I want to read each char that user press on line and without waiting for the Enter button. It's like an keyboard event but there is no GUI.
    I will appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    I don't understund what you really want to do.it is possible mesure the time between each char type using the last code :
    char charPressed='\0';
    String line="";
    while(charPressed != '\n')
    try
    // start time
    charPressed =(char) System.in.read();
    line += charPressed;
    // end time
    // want to get out
    if(...) break;
    catch(IOException ioex) {ioex.printStackTrace();}
    Sorry, but your code doesn't measure the time between each char type.
    The function read waits for the "enter" key, and just after pressing enter your code will start to read all the chars you typed before "enter", so it won't do it.
    Read function will not help in this subject.

    You're not the only one. I've been re-indexing on and off for the last four days to no avail. I had to call Apple today and was put through to a senior technical advisor. After doing a data capture for them I was told that they should be able to come back with an answer within the next two days.
    It's worth giving them a call to let them run through the clearing caches process with you if you haven't done that already. Remember that using your machine whilst it's indexing also slows the process down.
    I will let you know when they come back with an answer but I hope by t would hahen both of our machines would have finished re-indexing by then...

  • Capture keyboard input

    I have a swing app that will run on a touch screen. There will be no keyboard. I will have a magnetic card reader plugged into the ps/2 port.
    Basically I need to capture the output of the magnetic card reader. At the moment when a card is swiped it goes in the first JTextfield.
    Now I can capture the output outside of swing by using
    BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    String data = stdin.readLine();
    System.out.println(m_data);
    However this does not work inside of swing or at least my swing app.
    So in swing, how can I capture or redirect text input?
    I guess I could write a fuction that appends a character each time a key event occurs like KeyTyped. However I am not sure that is the most efficient way to go about it.

    A document listner might work, however I think that url you posted also shows a way using an action listner.
    Something I forgot to mention was, when I swipe the card I do not want the card's data placed in a JTextField.
    To the point when a card is swiped I want the data in a string.
    At the moment when I swipe a card it goes into a JTextfield. I do not want that to be the case. Sure I can make a way around it with a hidden text field or something, and use a listner for events on the text field.
    However I do not think that is the proper way to go about this.
    So I am looking for an event that will be fired or take place as soon as there is input from the keyboard/card reader. I do not want a JTextField to even have the chance to grab and display that data. I want to know first, and take that data and do something else with it.
    In detail, when a card is swipped, the data will be parsed and JTextFields will display the parsed information. However I need to be the first one receiving the data, not any of the JTextFields in my app.
    The app does not require use of a keyboard. If possible I would like the app to not work at all with a keyboard, and any input from a keyboard or card reader is calling my own code to deal with those events.
    So if someone does plug in a keyboard, I do not want them to be able to do anything. That's not a must, but if I can accomplish it with the above I will be a happy camper.
    In short I need to capture all input from the ps/2 port, and be notified with input starts and ends. Or at least when it ends.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • Send a keyboard event from labview to C#

    Hi,
    We currently have a program in c# that takes keyboard inputs from a user and will fly a quadrotor. We aim to have a LabView .vi generate keyboard commands based on our experiment and send the commands to the c# code creating a feedback loop where the .vi will keep track of sensor and experimental data.
    Our problem is that we have tried many different methods to send the keyboard commands in LabView. 
    1) http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3711
    2) http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Send-keyboard-commands-to-another-windows-program/td-p/330670/page/2
    as well as other variations and similar .vi's that do the same thing. Here is an example of a .vi used to press the letter "t" once.
    http://i.imgur.com/hwmjZ.png
    All of them can write the string to a text (open notepad put cursor in blank window) file but none can do it in such a way that it is detected by the c# code. On my own I can open and run the c# code and press keyboard buttons myself and the commands are recognized, so I think it could be an issue with how LabView sends the keyboard events and how c# reads them. Here is the c# code segment that we are using to read the input commands:
    public override List<String> GetPressedButtons()
              KeyboardState state = device.GetCurrentKeyboardState();
              List<String> buttonsPressed = new List<String>();
              foreach (Key key in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Key)))
                        if (state[key])
                                  if (!buttonsPressed.Contains(key.ToString()))
                                            buttonsPressed.Add(key.ToString());
              return buttonsPressed;
    Can anyone help trying to figure out why using the keybd_event function in LabView can not interface correctly with the above detection code in c#? I can provide any code and clarification if you think it can be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Hi,
    I can't say with certainty where the problem is or even how many there are. I do know that the KeyboardListener.cs class should work according to what I have read online. I also know that if I press the keyboard myself then the state is changed and the correct action is taken. If I try to issue an event from Labview then the event is not captured. Here is the code, it is rather large ~20 MB.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/vsvcje1ro364otu/ARDrone.zip
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/p3h3tj8bcqc29gk/Forward_backward0924.vi
    The key listener is in ARDroneInput>Utils>KeyboardListener.cs and the polling takes place in ARDroneInput>KeyboardInput.cs
    The reason I wanted to use keyboard inputs is because the quadrotor we are using takes keyboard commands W,A,S,D,T and L. Initially I thought having Labview issue these commands would be the simplest method. That may not be the case.
    I was just thinking that it is not necessary that key events are sent from Labview. Instead, one could send an array representing the frequency of each button press rather than the button press directly. In that case an array that is updated continuously from Labview will just have to be kept track of in the C# code. The C# can then convert that to whatever control input we want. Can it be easier to send a vector of numbers in real time to C#?
    If you think it is better to establish a connection between Labview and C# using .NET to send keyboard commands (rather than the vector idea above) can you explain that a little more? How does one go about doing that? If you think the vector idea is simpler how should the interface be set-up?
    I just talked with my collegue and we think that maintaing a .txt file in Labview and having C# read it is the best option. We will begin working on that and will update you tomorrow.
    Thanks,

  • How to capture an image from a clip

    Hi,
    Is there a way to capture an image from a movie clip using iMovie 06?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi iMac User:
    Yes-you can save a single frame from iMovie by selecting the File-->Save Frame As option. From there it will ask you where and in what format you want to save it.
    Just be aware that the quality won't be perfect because it is taken from a video clip.

  • Unable to properly capture HD video from miniDV tape in FCE

    unable to capture HD video from miniDV tape
    When I connect my Sony HDR-HC3 miniDV HDV camcorder to my iMac via firewire cable and use Final Cut Express to capture the video from the tape, I do not get a Capture window that allows me to specify in and out points, I just get a playback window that immediately starts capturing and the only option I have in this window is hit ESC to stop capturing. If I let this capture window continue to capture the video from the camera with miniDV HD tape, then the entire tape would be captured as one massive single video clip.
    QUESTION: Is there something I change or do to make the proper capture window appear where I can specify in and out points to capture from tape for each clip?
    NOTE: using same camera and tape with iMovie with automatic capture enabled, all the clips get captured properly. I also tried to use the manual setting in iMovie and it worked too.
    More details(read only if you want more information)
    I have a several miniDV tapes containing HD video created on a Sony Sony HDR-HC5 and Sony HDR-HC7. Unfortunately, both these camera were stolen, and I have since moved to a camera that uses flash memory, not tape. However, I need to get the video footage off these tapes, so I bought a used Sony HDR-HC3, it plays the HD miniDV tapes just fine and iMovie reads the video from this camera just fine, but Final Cut Express does not.
    When I setup Final Cut Express, I used the Easy Setup and specified:
    Format: HD
    Rate: 29.97 fps
    Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60
    These setting match those of the camera and recorded tape. If I use any other settings but these, then Final Cut Express never sees the camera and never opens any capture window at all. Using Quicktime 10 movie inspector on the clips captured by iMovie from same camera, all the clips match this setting too.
    Final Cut Express version 4.0.1
    iMovie 09 Version 8.0.2 (821)
    iMac 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 running
    Mac OS X Version 10.6.4
    My Final Cut Express scratch disk is a Seagate 2TB external USB 2.0 Hard Drive that has been formatted to be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). This external disk is also where iMovie successfully captured all the video from the same camera.

    Thanks for the answer. It makes me sad. I thought using Final Cut Express would be an upgrade to a more robust editing system from iMovie, yet iMovie does a superior job of logging and capturing video from HDV video on miniDV tape in comparison to FCE. Not only does iMovie capture each clip on the tape into it's own video file automatically, it also includes timestamp information in the filename indicating when the clip was originally recorded, which appears to be something that is missing from Final Cut Express. Now I realize that HDV miniDV cameras had a relatively short life span in the consumer marketplace and have since all been replaced by flash and hard drive based AVCHD cameras, but from circa 2004 to 2007, miniDV HDV camcorders were very popular and I am sure there are lots of consumers that must be super frustrated by Final Cut Express limited ability to log and capture clips properly from these cameras.
    Assuming I do not want to make a rough cut of video in iMovie and prefer to begin my editing project in Final Cut Express (not doing XML export of iMovie project), I need to determine the best way to get clips captured via iMovie into Final Cut Express and determine if there is anything inferior in the iMovie captured clips that I need to be aware of. So far it appears that both iMovie and Final Cut Express reduce the 5.1 surround sound captured on the HDV miniDV tapes to stereo sound, which is not a big lose given the 5.1 sound was recorded from camera's built-in microphone, but it makes me wonder if the video is reduced in any way by the iMovie import process, examining the video in quicktime's inspector window the video appears to be the same in both iMovie and FCE, but I'll research the answers to these questions elsewhere on this forum and post additional questions if I do not find the information I need.

  • Problem with getting unicode values from console

    Hi,
    In my application I am passing unicode value like \u00DF from console. and writing this string value to a utf8 file. But in the file the value is printed not the actual unicode character.
    Where the things are getting wrong.
    I have declared a string in java like ;
    String abc = "\u00DF";
    and printed this to a utf8 file, it works fine and the corresponding unicode character for \u00DF is printed.
    Why the unicode value passes from console is not working property. How can i resolve this ?
    Thanks in advance...

    And how are you putting it into the console in the first place?

  • How can I capture film clips from my Canon FS200 camcorder into my computer?

    I've captured film clips from my Canon FS200 camcorder before so you can understand how frustrated I now feel not being able to do it today. I have just one 30-second clip on the memory card. It plays on my camcorder but I cannot transfer the clip to my computer.
    I have an HP desktop computer that's two years old with plenty of hard drive space. I've tried capturing using the memory card inserted into the computer and I've tried using the USB2.0 port. Nothing works anymore. I used to capture with ease using Windows Movie Maker or Photo Gallery.
    In the past when the capture was successful I would import the clips into Magix Edit Pro 16 for editing. I could never capture directly into this program though. I hope someone can help me out.

    In Windows Movie Maker and Photo Gallery I click on Import From Device or Import Photos and Videos. A box appears but it is empty. The message above the box is, "if you do not see your device..." click Refresh. Refresh doesn't do it.
    When I try to import with Magix Edit Pro 16 (a German video editing program) I get the message: "Magix could not connect to selected device."
    I have run out of options. I don't know what else to do. This Friday I'm going to do some filming at a ballroom dance but I'm pessimistic about being able to capture the raw video to my computer. 
    This is an edit later in the day. Now I can capture into Photo Gallery and then into Windows Movie Maker or Magix. But I can only do this with the USB 2.0 connection. When I put the memory card into the computer slot, nothing happens. It used to work. Anyway, I'm glad I can finally do some practice editing again. I'm just in the learning stage with anything graphic.

    Hi Sridhar,
    I'm unsure for what you'd need this, but in general there are at least two possibilities:
    - manually pack everything into the dir structure needed (documented here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f9/561140d72dc442e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm ), than create a ZIP with some command line tool (e.g. JAR), naming it to .par.
    - use ANT to do this; with this, you can even deploy the file, see PAR-File deployment with ANT (EP6)
    Hope it helps
