Program to write in a terminal every period of time

[Alex329]

Hi,

I need to program the computer for him to write some words every 10 seconds in tera term terminal.
For exemple, I need him to write for exemple
Abc+enter key, def+enter key, ghi+enter key, klmn+enter key. etc....(in loop)

IN the terminal, I would like it to be written this way

Abc+enter key
wait 10 seconds
def+enter key
wait 10 seconds
ghi+enter key
wait 10 seconds
klmn+enter key
wait 1minute
Abc+enter key
wait 10 seconds
def+enter key
wait 10 seconds
ghi+enter key
wait 10 seconds
etc.....(in loop)

Is it possible to do ? If yes, can you please tell me how?

Thank you

Just use a python script that load the commands from a file

Commands.txt

Abc
def
ghi
klmn

I am using windows 10 and downloaded python 3.6.2 shell
When I type import serial from the python, I get this error

>>> import serial
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#12>", line 1, in <module>
    import serial
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'serial'

and when I type fcmd = open("Commands.txt")
I get this one

SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

How can I correct that ?

One option is to write a code with the following flow:

Make a character array of strings consisting of all messages .

main routine will read the string one by one and display it in terminal.
Call delay of 10 seconds .
and reapeat the above for next string

until end of string.
