Hi
I am a newbie to expect, but have used perl for basic hacking for some years.
Now I've decided to use the expect module for handling download of
software to an embedded target over a serial link.
I want to relay progress to the user, and I want to do this in fine
grained intervals. It seems the easiest way to do this would be to
count the number of chars received. Of cause I want this to happen in
the background while I have expect statement blocking for a match. How
do I extract the number of received chars from the Expect module?
BTW: is this maillist available online or even better through gmane.org?
thanks!
KimM
