Hello, I'm running 32-bit Windows XP and trying to have Matlab communicate with Cgate, a command line program. I'd like to make this happen using wexpect, which is a port of Python's module pexpect to Windows. I'm having trouble installing or importing wexpect though. I've put wexpect in the folder Lib, along with all other modules. ...
I am relatively new to TCL / expect and mostly modifying existing code. expect_before doesn't seem to do what I expect (which is fine) but I can't work out how to debug it. I have used -d option and am now using exp_internal -f "argh.log" 1 to create a log file, but it isn't helping me. expect_before -info seems useful, but I am no...
So I wanted to automate my SSH logins. The host I'm with doesn't allow key authentication on this server, so I had to be more inventive. I don't know much about shell scripting, but some research showed me the command 'expect' and some scripts using it for exactly this purpose. I set up a script and ran it, it worked perfectly to login....

I'm using 20 identical simulators (text base GUI like vi, refreshed quickly), and I need to control them in very similar way. e.g. input some command string to start/stop/config the simulator. The display is important, and I need them to flow on the terminal. Currently I can automatically start each one in a separate terminal. But afte...
Now here's something interesting. When I have more than one thread in Tcl invoking package require Expect, I get a seg fault. e.g. package require Threads package require Expect set t [thread::create] thread::send {package require Expect} puts "blarg! Damned thing crashes before I get here" This is not a good time. Any thoughts?...

*Please do not pile on and tell me to just use SSH keys. If it bugs you that this is the way I am doing it, pretend that I am trying to telnet in instead. :-) * I am using an expect script to run some routine commands on a set of servers under my control via ssh. The script should run set of commands (eg svn update ~/folderx\r") on e...
