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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Posted by sarathy_groups (sarathy_groups), 13 October 2005
Hi all,

Does anyone have an example of capturing the standard error for a spawned process in Expect?  The process is displaying an error message that I want to return to the user.

let me elaborate u :

I have a process that, when I run it in the shell, returns an error message (because I'm forcing an error condition).  If I run that same process inside my Expect script, I do not see the error message.  Is there some variable within Expect that I can access that would contain that error message?  Turning on exp_internal does not help me in my situation.

Help me Expect  Guru's


Thanks in Advance,
Partha

The way I've seen this done before is to run the process in question within a spawned telnet and to use the shell to echo out  the return status.   If you look back a couple of pages, I think you'll find the discussion here on Opentalk; I'm on a slower and timelimited link this morning to I can't do that further research for you at this stage, I'm afraid
