Hello all:

I use the following snippet to demo how to write down a string on some place 
of screen.

For example: If I want to write down 'robot', I have to get the array 
keyInput first.

My question is to find an easy to automatically convert a given string to 
corresponding
keyInput.

Does java provide such function for us?



Thank you
-Daniel


//Store Keystrokes in an array
                   static int keyInput[] = {KeyEvent.VK_R,KeyEvent.VK_O,
                      KeyEvent.VK_B,KeyEvent.VK_O,KeyEvent.VK_T};

Robot robot = new Robot();

  //This types the word 'robot' in the Textarea
  for (int i = 0; i < keyInput.length; i++)
  {
   if(i > 0)
     {
               robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);
   }

          robot.keyPress(keyInput[i]);

   robot.delay(500);

  }
