- This is my first time using C# in a project ever.
- I chose to use C# since it fits into the .NET framework very well.
- To run my program:
- Open solution file in Visual Studio Code.
- Start the OnScreenKeyboard file.
- My program assumes a user wants to select a text file to read with a GUI display and has a text file ready to select.
- My program outputs to the console, but this output is a string that could be returned anywhere in the software.
- My code is the following:
- OnScreenKeyboard.cs
- KeyboardConverter.cs
- KeyboardMapping.cs
- All other code is part of the VS Code generation that allows the program to run
On screen keyboards are the bane of DVR users. To help alleviate the pain, one local company is asking you to implement part of a voice to text search for their DVR by developing an algorithm to script the on screen keyboard. The keyboard is laid out as follows:
ABCDEF
GHIJKL
MNOPQR
STUVWX
YZ1234
567890
Please write a program which scripts the path of the cursor on the keyboard. The program should:
- Accept a flat file as input.
- Each new line will contain a search term
- Output the path for the DVR to execute for each line
- Assume the cursor will always start on the A
- Use the following characters to make up the path
- U = up
- D = down
- L = left
- R = right
- S = space
- # = select
- Comma delimit the result
