RE: [Expectperl-discuss] using multiple expect objects

[Blackstone, J. D. <jda...@ci...>]

  I don't think you're supposed to use pids with -i; I think you're supposed
to use the Expect object itself.  Otherwise, how would it get the object to
expect on?

jdb

Subject: [Expectperl-discuss] using multiple expect objects


Hi,
I am trying to write a script program which spawns and uses multiple Expect
session.  I tried using the '-i' option with the Expect object's PID but it
gave me the following error message.  I got the pid by using $pid =
$session->pid() and this returned an integer '1088; to me.
Can someone please help me?
Thanx!
Heidi

Can't use string ("1088") as a symbol ref while "strict refs" in use at
/usr/lib
/perl5/5.6.1/Expect.pm line 564.
sub expMatch {
my ($session, $pid, $send_arg, $expect_arg) = @_;
print $session "$send_arg\r" 
$temp = $session->expect( $timeout, 
'-i', [$pid], 
['-re', $expect_arg],
['timeout', sub {print "TIMEOUT expecting $expect_arg\n"}]
); 
}
