Re: [Expectperl-discuss] () matching in -re expects

[Jason G. <JG...@cw...>]

I just made the switch to expect.pm also, so this is fresh in my mind.  I =
use " $var =3D ($exp->matchlist)[0] " for the first matched item.  Make =
sure you use the parenthesis exactly as listed or it will not work.

Hello all,

I've used the "real" expect for a number of years, and now find myself
having to do some stuff w/ perl-expect.

Is there a way to capture text w/ () in the expect of perl like you can
w/ expect?

For example the following bit of expect code will grab the hostname of
the device you've logged into and store it in a variable called hostname:
expect {
 -re "\n+(.*}>"
}
set hostname $expect_out(1,string)

The $expect_out(1,string) grabs what is inside the () in the expect
statement. Like a backrefrence \1 in a regexp.

Is there a way to do the same thing w/ perl expect?

Thanks in advance.
Sean
