Yse, I am searching solution like expect in linux.
i want to do adb shell with account is a, password is b.
I finished it by vbs,like below

Dim WshShell

WshShell.Run "cmd.exe"
WshShell.SendKeys "adb shell"
WScrip.Sleep 2000
WshShell.SendKeys "a"
WScrip.Sleep 2000
WshShell.SendKeys "b"
WScrip.Sleep 2000
