RE: [Expectperl-discuss] Solaris horizontal linewrap problem

[Kemp, D. <dk...@em...>]

Miguel,
Have you tried setting the "terminal length" and "terminal width" on =
the
router to the size of the "window" you are using?
I have a program that uses "telnet" to connect to Cisco routers without
seeing the problems you are reporting. The code adjusts the terminal
settings after connecting but before the user starts interacting with =
the
router. The code works on Solaris 7,8 and AIX 4.3.3 and goes something =
like
....
print $telnet "\cZ";                        # Send ^Z (ctrl-Z)
print $telnet "term length ".$tty->{'rows'}."\r";
$exp_match =3D $telnet->expect($timeout, -re, "^.*[#>]");
print $telnet "term width ".$tty->{'columns'}."\r";
$exp_match =3D $telnet->expect($timeout, -re, "^.*[#>]");
=20

Well, I have an example that runs, but it doesn't do the right thing :(

The behavior is the same as before ... some evil spirit is still doing =
me
the favor of linewrapping.

I am completely dumbfounded. Went back to a Linux box and confirmed =
that I
don't get the behavior there.

For now I'm sticking with the 'stty columns 250 ; telnet foo' solution.

Miguel
