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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Posted by neo (The Architect), 28 February 2006
Hi All,
After quite a while of not using a comp (for anything much productive) I am writing an expect script again.
What I would like to know here is how to get a matched pattern in a variable.

I am doing this
Code:
send "ls *.apfa\r"
expect -re *.apfa
set output $expect_out(buffer)
puts stdout $output

But the output (for the 'puts $output') I get is
Quote:
ls *.apfa
filename.apfa

I only want the "filename.apfa" from the output.
Any idea how I can get this?

Hi,
Can you try [a-zA-Z0-9]+.fpga in regexp...........

Quote:
invalid command name "a-zA-Z0-9"

So i did this Code:
expect -re "{a-zA-Z0-9}+.apfa

but the puts stdout was blank

Hi...................
Try out this ..................

set TelnetIp <ip>
spawn telnet $TelnetIp
expect "login:"
exp_send "test\r";
expect "Password:"
exp_send "redhat\r"
expect "]$";
exp_send "su -\r"
expect "Password:"
exp_send "password\r"
expect "#"
exp_send "ls *.<ext>\r";
expect "#"
set output $expect_out(buffer);
puts "This is the outpout $output "
set output1 $output
set output1 [string range $output1 [string first "\n" $output] [string last "\n" $output]]
puts "the change output is $output1---"
foreach line [split [string trim $output1] "\n"] {
       if {$line != " "} {
               set NoElmnts [llength $line]
               for {set i 0} {$i<$NoElmnts} {incr i} {
                       set check [lindex $line $i]
                       regexp {[a-zA-Z\0-9]+\.tcl} $check match;
                       lappend tcls $match;
               }
       }
}
set i 0;
while {$i<[llength $tcls]} {
       puts "[lindex $tcls $i]"
}
