Are you sure you spelled google correctly? The best source of information on Expect is the book Exploring Expect by Don Libes published by O'Reilly. It contains an excellent tutorial on Expect and it's underlying language Tcl Here is a telnet example that returns the number of emails in your pop "account": #!/usr/bin/expect log_user 0 eval spawn telnet -l myname pop.my_ISP.com 110 expect "ready." send "user myname\r" expect "PASS" send "pass secret\r" expect "welcome" send "stat\r" expect "+OK " expect -re "\[0-9]* " set answer $expect_out(0,string) send_user "$answer \r\n" expect -re "\[0-9]*\r\n" send "quit\r" expect "signing off" exit > > thx, > john rose > -- > ...and I woke up 2 days later, in the back yard, talkin to Elvis! > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > -- "The only system which is truly secure, is one which is switched off and unplugged, locked in a titanium lined safe, buried in a concrete bunker, surrounded by nerve gas and very highly paid armed guards. Even then, I wouldn't stake my life on it" - Gene Spafford (Good thing. the law of unintended consequences: A laptop, w/wireless NIC and wake on "date" set in the BIOS) Jargon file, abrgd.: The September that never ended. On the Internet, every September's freshmen influx got their first accounts and, not knowing how to post/email, always made a nuisance of themselves. Usually they were trained in a few months. But in September 1993, AOL users became able to post, overwhelming the capacity to acculturate them; to those who recall the period before, this triggered a decline in the quality of online communications. Syn. eternal September. http://kinz.org http://www.fedoranews.org Jeff Kinz, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA.
