How to send a echo text to an open window?

Question

So basically I'm trying to find how to echo "Stop" to an open Command window like command prompt for example. If you can't give the answer what specifically do I need to google to get headed in the right direction.

I have tried googling multiple different ways but my wording has to be wrong as I am only getting info how to send echo to a file.

@echo some text | Command Prompt

Perhaps you could explain what you are doing and why you need to send keystrokes into an open command window — UnhandledExcepSean, May 29 '19 at 15:32
I don't want to send keystrokes i want to send text to a console just like command Prompt — ravenXharuno, May 29 '19 at 15:35
But the issue is that the window's name isn't Command Prompt it is like AwakeningTest so I use @echo stop | AwakeningTest it's not command prompt it's just a console like command prompt — ravenXharuno, May 29 '19 at 15:37
So, you have an application running called AwakeningTest and it is a console application. It runs until "Stop" is entered and you want a way to send it from a different command window. Right? — UnhandledExcepSean, May 29 '19 at 15:38
Yes, I want to send it "Stop" it'll send other things eventually but I need to know how to send it stop for now. — ravenXharuno, May 29 '19 at 15:40

This is called scripting or macros. You need to send input into a specific screen via automation (simulating a manual keyboard input). FYI, this is VERY fragile and tends to break a great deal.

This can be done by creating scripts. Example:

set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.run"Sndvol"
WScript.Sleep 1500
shell.SendKeys"{TAB}"
shell.SendKeys" "
shell.SendKeys"%{F4}"

Sendkeys from command prompt

vbs SendKeys only to specific window
