Having IF loop problem in expect script

sweetu — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 21:48:58 GMT

I am trying to add if loop in the recorded script. But it is getting hanged. It is not going in to the loop or not even coming out. Any idea why i am having this loop problem.

No.

Have you thought about showing people what
you're doing? Or were you looking for help
from psychics who can read your mind and see
what you've tried, and what you want it to
do?

Not your biggest problem.

I agree with Steven, you need to post your script so we could have a look for you.

how big is it?

unless we can see your script, there no way we can help you.

personally, i break down my scripts in sections and "test" each section as it goes.

put comments as the script flows so that you know where it jamms,

for example, divide your script in 20 sections and put

echo "1"

echo "2"

echo "3"

and as it runs, you will know how far it goes before it dies, or remove your IF command if it won't even run!
