Thanks to both who answered this question. I was able to use both of your = suggestions and my script is working now. Thanks a lot!! --Jason >>> Jason Gerdes <JG...@cw...> 5/17/2007 11:53 AM >>> Hello, Here is the problem I am having: I use expect to spawn an SSH session to a cisco router and run the command = 'show arp', which sends a lot of data back. example: gw>show arp Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface Internet XX.XX.108.17 0 XXXX.319f.c3d9 ARPA Vlan133 Internet XX.XX.97.28 171 XXXX.c525.d4c3 ARPA Vlan122 Internet XX.XX.99.30 41 XXXX.420c.e73f ARPA Vlan124 ... (there are thousands of lines sent back) The problem I get is that expect seems to process this data in chunks. = For example, it will process: Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface Internet XX.XX.108.17 0 XXXX.319f.c3d9 ARPA Vlan133 Internet XX.XX.97.28 171 XXXX.c5 where it will pull out the data correctly for the first line, but will not = match the second line since it is incomplete. Then, it processes the next = chunk. example: 25.d4c3 ARPA Vlan122 Internet XX.XX.99.30 41 XXXX.420c.e73f ARPA Vlan124 where it will not pull the data correctly for the first line (incomplete), = but will pull the correct data for the second line. I have used the TCL expect before and it does the same thing so I know it = is not a bug. I think there is just a gap in my understanding of how = expect processes the data that is sent back from spawned processes. Is there a way to make expect deal with all of the data as one big chunk, = rather than processing it in pieces? I hope someone can explain how this = works. --Jason ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
