Expect query

Vasudevan MV — Wed, 29 May 2002 09:35:49 GMT

Hi,

After interacting with the user using "interact" command in Expept script, Can we handle somemore thing after interact command in the Expect like
interact ^Z return
...
expect "hello:" {send "ok" }
expect "simple:" {send "su\r"}
...
if [fork] exit
disconnect
expect eof

Thanks
Vasu

Hi

I think inter_return

look at

http://www.fnal.gov/docs/products/expect/expect.1.html

Actions such as break and continue cause control structures (i.e., for, proc) to behave in the usual way. However return causes interact to return to its caller, while inter_return causes interact to cause a return in its caller. For example, if "proc foo"
called interact which then executed the action
inter_return, proc foo would return. (This means that if interact calls interpreter interactively typing return will cause the interact to continue, whileinter_return will cause the interact to return to its caller.)

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply, do you have any sample programs on that?. Basically I have to do some cleanup process after the intraction. So How can I do that?.

Thanks
