Tab Scripting With SecureCRT® 5.2 and Later

Note: This tip is for use with SecureCRT for Windows®.

SecureCRT 5.2 and later supports scripting functions to control multiple tabbed sessions from a script. Tabs functions allow scripts to connect Secure Shell command and SFTP tabs, clone tabs, activate tabs, and close tabs. Examples of common application are opening multiple tabbed sessions in a specific order, and prompting for a command and sending it to multiple tabbed sessions.

Below are sample scripts written in VBScript demonstrating each of the tab functions.

The above scripts use the following tab-specific script functions:

crt.Session.ConnectInTab()
crt.GetTabCount()
crt.GetTab()
objTab.Activate()
objTab.Clone()
objTab.Close()
objTab.ConnectSftp()
objTab.Index()
objTab.Caption()
objTab.Session.Disconnect()
objTab.Session.Connected()
objTab.Screen.Send()

You can find more information about the Tab object in the SecureCRT Help files under ActiveX Scripting / Script Objects Reference / Tab Object.
