Full Discussion: Trying to parse expect_out(buffer)
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Trying to parse expect_out(buffer) Post 302923379 by imatinkerer on Sunday 2nd of November 2014 10:21:14 AM
Old 11-02-2014
This is a proprietary front-end user interface riding on (what I believe to be) a Linux shell and, as such, the UI prevents access to the Linux command set.

The eventual command that I want to "send" is

Code:
send "delete file config $configfile"

There can be anywhere from one to ten files stored in the directory, so I need to parse the expect_out(buffer) for each file name, load that name into the variable configfile and then execute the above command, the repeat for as many files that are listed (I imagine using something like a foreach statement).

gitit

GITIT(1)							 Gitit User Manual							  GITIT(1)

NAME

       gitit - wiki engine backed by a git or darcs filestore

SYNOPSIS

       gitit [{-h | --help}] [{-v | --version}] [{-p port | --port=port}] [{-l interface | --listen=interface}]
	     [{-f configfile | --config-file=configfile}] [--debug] [--print-default-config]

DESCRIPTION

       gitit is a wiki enging backed by a git or darcs filestore. When run for the first time, it creates a file standard files and directories
       that contains the structure of a basic wiki, then listens for incoming HTTP connections. When run in a directory that already contains a
       gitit wiki, it uses the information already present.

       The directory wikidata contains the repository that hosts the pages in the wiki. You can change its content both from the Web interface and
       by modifying directly the repository (via commit/record or push/pull).

OPTIONS

       The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').

       -h, --help
	   Displays a brief help about the parameters, then quits.

       -v, --version
	   Displays the installed version of gitit, then quits.

       -p port, --port=port
	   Intruct gitit to listen on the specified port.

       -l interface, --listen=interface
	   Intruct gitit to listen on the specified interface.

       -f configfile, --config-file=configfile
	   Override default configuration with the values specified in file configfile. To see this file's syntax and the configurable fields
	   (with default values and documentation), use --print-default-config.

       --debug
	   Enable debug mode: gitit will print information about all the requests it handles.

       --print-default-config
	   Prints the default configuration values, along with some documentation.
