telnet help

Using solaris 10.
I have a scale with a nic card that allows for telnet sessions. Telnet to the scale works fine. I can capture the entire telnet session to a file. Now the problem; is there a way to capture the weight only from the scale, and move it to a text file.

Thank You,

Allison

IS there a telnet session command to display the weight? like show weight or something? This example assume there is; that exit ends the connection; someaddr is the telnet connect string for your scale; there is no authentication.

This puts telnet in command line mode.

Code:

telnet <<EOF > weight.lis
open someaddr
show weight
exit
EOF

cat weight.lis

Not logon required. To extract output i.e (XX. lb. gross) where XX = pounds it requires sending {alt} + 149. Is there a way to send these commands in a script ?
