For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
How to use expect in local machine

Posted by shafa.fahad (FahaD), 19 October 2006

Hi,

I understand we have to spawn a process to interact with it using expect & send.

I had been spawing ssh and running several commands in the remote machine using send, expect, send, expect...

Now i am not pretty sure now how i can run the similar command using expect in local machine....

Could be please add some info regarding it....

My objecitve is to run serious of command in local machine and get the output for that..

do I have to spawn every command?

Also... i am trying to run Sql from the expect script, When i tried spawing a process using spawn sqlplus -s << EOF it is not recognizing... ( the above command works from command prompt )

regards,
Fahad

On your redirection (last qestion first!) it's probably not recognising the << because that's a shell feature and you're spawing a command directly without a shell.

For your earlier question, why not spawn a shell in which you can send and expect?  Much easier than triggering off each command individually!
