trying to telnet to a device, list the files, and delete them. I can get the script to telnet and log in OK, and even issue the command to list out the files. I can't figure out how to parse the expect_out(buffer) and extract the file name for use in the delete command.
the files list out like this:
I need to include the xml file name in the command to delete the file. Additionally, I need to issue a discrete command to delete the files one-at-a-time (the device does not support wild cards - can simply send delete *.xml)
my script thus far:
I pass the last octet of the IP in as an argument as I run the script
thanks, in advance.
