Expect::Simple is a wrapper around the Expect module which should suffice
|
|
for simple applications. It hides most of the Expect machinery; the Expect
|
|
object is available for tweaking if need be.
|
|
|
|
Generally, one starts by creating an Expect::Simple object using new. This
|
|
will start up the target program, and will wait until one of the specified
|
|
prompts is output by the target. At that point the caller should send()
|
|
commands to the program; the results are available via the before, after,
|
|
match_str, and match_idx methods. Since Expect simulates a terminal, there
|
|
will be extra \r characters at the end of each line in the result (on UNIX
|
|
at least). This is easily fixed:
|
|
|
|
($res = $obj->before) =~ tr/\r//d;
|
|
@lines = split( "\n", $res );
|
|
|
|
This is not done automatically.
|
|
|
|
Exceptions will be thrown on error (match with /Expect::Simple/). Errors
|
|
from Expect are available via the error_expect method. More human readable
|
|
errors are available via the error method.
|
|
|
|
The connection is automatically broken (by sending the specified
|
|
disconnect command to the target) when the Expect::Simple object is
|
|
destroyed.
