When I saw the subject line, I thought you were asking how to insert a
string into an .exe file or into its memory space, modifying the
application itself. As somebody else said, "Input" is the term I would
use when you want to use a script to control an application as if you
were typing into its user interface.

Re: Inserting a string into an application

Sorry, I don't mean any offense, but I repeat that I read your initial reply
to me, tried to understand what you were getting at and its relation to what
I was asking about, and I didn't understand it. I didn't see any connection
between what I was asking about and what you were saying.

As for "discussion group versus service," most of what happens in discussion
groups is people asking for help with accomplishing certain tasks, and other
people helping them. Years ago I participated much more at discussion groups
and got invaluable help on all kinds of issues, and I in turn would want to
pass on what I had learned to others. Now suddenly the nexus "asking for
help / getting help" is objectionable. Or rather it's objectionable to ask
for help with one simple task. I don't know what I did to annoy you, I
certainly didn't intend to annoy you, and maybe by now you could let it go.

If you want something to be let go, then stop bringing it up :-)
There had been no posts in this thread for more than 24 hours - it seems
to have been your need to have the final word that prevented this thread
from dying a quiet death. :-)
