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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Posted by soop (soop), 19 March 2008
I can't find anything unique enough to specify as an end of file for a running config, and the promts for the routers I'm using are all different.  What I'd like to do is grab the hostname from the running config with
"show run | i hostname" (which actually gives 2 matches) and then specify what follows hostname as $prompt.

Is this possible?  What is the comand for this?

If you have your hostname in a variable called hostname you can use that as a part of our expect string:

expect "$hostname $prompt" ...

Posted by soop (soop), 26 March 2008
I know that, but I want to define what $hostname is automatically based on what expect outputs

Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 26 March 2008
Yes ... you expect a line that contains the hostname, use a regular expression to extract it from expect_out(string) then expect in the way I described.
