Expect script returning string following a found expect.
I'm fairly new to scripting so this might not be possible.
I am using Expect with Cisco switches and need to capture the string after finding the expect request. For example, when I issue "show version" on a Nexus switch, I'm looking to capture the current firmware version:
In the output above, my expect script looks for: "system:"
What I want to capture is: "7.0(7)N1(1)" or what ever is actually returned.
I have tried using the $expect_out(0,string) without success. I have used $expect_out(buffer), but that captures way more data than I'm looking for and really don't know how to select data that gets sent to the buffer.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
