Variable Dialog Box (Secure CRT Mac - Python)
 
Hi Experts,

can somebody share a way that I can launch a dialog box when executing a python script on Secure CRT to request input of multiple variables that are used within the script?

One of the three variables is sensitive (password / key) so when executing user input it should not show up when typed.

Thanks,

K

Hi krypton179,

SecureCRT has its own mechanism for this.

See Scripting / Script Objects Reference / Dialog Object. The Prompt() method supports a Boolean (isPassword) that can mask that data entry.

Quote:
Python
Syntax
crt.Dialog.Prompt(message [, title [, default [, isPassword ]]])
Example
password = crt.Dialog.Prompt("Enter your password:", "Logon Script", "", True)

if password == "":
# User clicked Cancel button
else:
# User added data
