Hi there @responce4me, Unfortunately, I know we’ve had difficulties achieving this with Terminal Integration activities. As such, we’ve resorted to using the standard Type Into/Send Hotkeys, alongside Screen Scraping/Parsing to achieve the same result. With that said, hopefully someone can provide a solution. Thanks, Josh ---

Hi Pathrudu, I used the Screen Scraping method. Just open the putty and point the screen scraping to putty. you can use the Get full-text method to read the text from putty too. Let me know if you request the demo .xaml file. Thanks Vivek S. ---

We can go stepwise 1. are you able to open Putty - Done 2. Able to Send a hotkey to perform the operation - Done 3. Reading text from Putty - Failing Is this observation is correct? If the same issue persists please check with any other desktop application where you could perform this operation. If you are able to read the text from other application the issue with Putty else issue with UiPath. Happy to help further. Send above observation slight\_smile: ---

Hi Vivek I am also facing the same issue. 1. are you able to open Putty - Done 2. Able to Send a hotkey to perform the operation - Done 3. Reading text from Putty - Failing we can read text from other applications. I think the issue with Putty. Do we need to enable any settings from Putty so that we can get the selectors from putty. Can you please help here. Thanks in Advance! Nithya
