I am trying to write an expect script. Being a newbie in expect, maybee this is a silly doubt but i am stuck here.
So essentially , i want the o/p of one router command to be captured . Its something like this
Code:
Stats
Input Rx : 1234
Input Bytes : 3456
My expect script looks something like this
Code:
1 #!/usr/bin/expect -f
2 set prompt {>}
3 set timeout 20
4 set user [lindex $argv 0]
5 set password [lindex $argv 1]
6 spawn su $user
7 expect "Password:"
8 send "$password\r";
9 send -- "ls\r"
10 expect $prompt
11 puts "The output is $expect_out(buffer)"
12
13 interact
Now, i see the complete o/p by the last statement. Not able to get the correct syntax of -re for parsing the o/p. Just want to store the variables
Input Rx and input bytes.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
ashy_g

I am trying to use send and receive using expect. the expect_out(buffer) is working fine while it is running it as foreground. But the same script when it is ran as background, the expect_out(buffer) errored out.

I'm using Expect to execute a command on a router and return the output to a file. The output is a list.
