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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Posted by kannarv1 (kannarv1), 4 October 2006
HI iam not sure whats the problem
with this regular expression.Iam trying to match  $fPrompt which is
sftp. what does this reg exp mean it does not seem to match  
-re "\n2.. .*$fPrompt"

but i can match it by "*fprompt" and not by regular expression .

expect {
               -re "\n2.. \[^\r]*\r\n$fPrompt"  {
                       dbg 0 "Established sftp session "
               }
               -re "\n2.. .*$fPrompt"  {
                       dbg 0 "Established sftp session "
               }
               -re "\n... \[^\r]*\r\n$fPrompt"  {
                       send -- "exit\r"
                       errLog "Login failed (invalid login ) ... "
                       exit -1
               }
               timeout {
                       send -- "exit\r"
                       errLog "Failed to establish ftp session ... "
                       exit -1
               }
       }


thanks

I'm not sure if I completely understand the question, but I think you're trying to match a literal $ character but it's being taken as the first character of a variable name.   You need to \ protect i.

Thanks graham for the reply iam trying to match ftp prompt in my program i have already defined
set $fPrompt "ftp>"

iam trying to match ftp prompt thru regular expression . i can match it by saying

"*ftp"{  
   dbg 0 "Established sftp session "  
     }  

i think these two regular expression should match the ftp prompt but some how it doesnot .not sure whats the problem if i specify"\n2..

-re "\n2.. \[^\r]*\r\n$fPrompt"

-re "\n2.. .*$fPrompt"

In Tcl, you only use the $ in front of a variable when you're using it and NOT when you're setting in.   So
set $fPrompt "ftp>"
should read
set fPrompt "ftp>"

I don't know if that's your only (remaining) problem, but it won't help!
