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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Pattern matching

I send a command and then check the results of that . The command itself gets into the expect_out buffer including the results of executing that command.

Can I exclude the actual command that I am sending to be removed from the buffer?

Eg

I do a "ls m*.exp"
The results of which may be null but the buffer will contain the the command m*.exp as well[b][/b] so it will return incorrectly when I do regexp.


Please offer your thoughts.

How about doing 2 expect commands - the first one to expect the echo of the command that you have issued (thus clearing it from the incoming data stream) and the second being the expect that handles the results produced by the spawned process?
