How is this a VirtualBox question?

It certainly isn't a "Windows Host" question. Moving you to "Linux Guests".

Its Linux related.

This is not a Linux site, it's a VirtualBox site. Linux tuition is a bit beyond our remit here.

Please explain what feature of VirtualBox is relevant to your question? For example, where is the text file located that you want to read?

1. I will import a OVA file manually in virtual box by selecting file and import.
2. After importing to access my host i will pass the root user password as shown below. Now i used to pass manually instead manual i am planning to take the password from a text file which is located in my windows desktop. sorry for caused in convenience i hope now you are bit clear.
3. Like root user password i have to pass IP address, subnet mask, Gateway details.

Thanks a lot.

Well, first I think you need to erase any thought you have that you are looking at a program running on your host. You are looking at the monitor of a second PC which just happens to share the physical display.

So, what would the answer to your question be if you had two physical PCs sitting side by side? Which is effectively what you have.

Anything you do needs to be work before guest additions are running in the guest, so short of a guest which cooperates by looking for input from (say) the serial port, the only method I can think of involves injecting keyboard scan codes (VBoxManage controlvm keyboardputscancode). You would have to learn about scan codes, which are digital signals not related at all to character codes.

Thanks a lot But i dont have idea about key board scan codes. can you help.

It would involve a great deal of work so my helping you is not really a practical option. Perhaps someone else will have a bright idea.
