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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

open the file you want to save it to and write the expect_out(string) variable to it

Thanks for reply....
I tried it but it showing following error:
expect_out(string):no such element in array
Here i am sending you my script:

spawn telnet 172.25.126.248
expect  "login:"
exp_send "xyz\r"
expect "password:"
exp_send "aby\r"
exp_send "YBI:;\r"  
expect -re "(.*)\$"
set ret [open got2.txt w]
puts $ret $expect_out(string)
exit

when i am using expect_out(buffer) i am not getting any error but the result saved in file is not what i want...

actual result is:
YBI:;

I always reply as soon as possible .... I don't delay needlessly, you know!   ... See the FAQ.

However, I'm on the road at the end of a long drive and still out of the office ... Tk books NOT to hand ... so I'm not in a position to post a technical answer tonight

Hey - I did add a smiley.  I just have to remind people occasioanlly that this is a no-charge service and I have to reserve the right to answer when I get a chance .... which is likely to be when I get a break from giving paid-for training courses.

Ah .. I think I see.  The problem now lies in your last expect which you need to program to look for a unique sequence at the end of what you want to capture.   As it is, the expect matches at the end of the first line so that's what you get.

Try

expect "COMMAND EXECUTED"

and you should get everything prior to that string in the buffer, thus in the file
