Hi All,

how do i write a bash script to mimic my right button click..

any ideas or command names to steer in the right direction would be of great help.

Thanks

You may wish to give a little more detail, ie what sort of right click functionality are you looking for?
Depending on where the mouse is can change this quite dramatically.

Thanks grail, let me provide you with some details..

one of the in house company software shows a window after the analysis is done , this window is of fixed width and height so i know the boundary to operate.

After the window comes up what i have been doing lately is to right click on each of the iterations and it gives number of options and i select the options to export it to a particular file and use it further for my analysis.

I am trying to automate the above sequence through bash scripting. i cannot install xte to do the above thing because of company policy and all that.

1) Right click
2) go to third option
3) press ok on the small window that pops up.

Hopefully i was clear, if not i will try to rephrase.

Well I am not a 100% sure if there are any bash calls that would directly call say the mouse driver to mimic a right click, like in say C or C++, but
I was more thinking that if you could provide the end result of what happens as part of right clicking, for example

Right clicking and choosing an option will echo information from/to a file

Then with the likes of grep and/or other tools you could achieve the same thing.

If it is more the direct call you are after then maybe someone else will be able to help.
