suppress echo while reading input in expect
Hi all,
I tried searching for similar threads. Couldn't get any for Expect scripting. I am trying automate a task which requires login to a machine. The user would be prompted for the password. Now, I want this input to be hidden from being displayed on the screen. Is there any way, we can suppress echo to the terminal? Similar to the way we do 'stty -echo' in shell script? rgds, Sudhir. |

It's the same in Expect. Code:
send_user "What is your password "
stty -echo
expect_user -re "(.*)\n" {set PASS $expect_out(1,string)}
send_user "\n"
stty echoI've just started learning Expect myself, but I have used that piece of code successfully. |
