Will fill to 10000 and expect will happily run to eof ignoring anyĭata from the spawned process and finally hit eof and exit. If you do not have a full_buffer target then the expect_out(buffer) Interactive command we simply wait for the eof. Spawning the find command to find all the files under the entireĭirectory tree from the current working directory. Show yourself the problem and the solution. The following is an example that you can use to If you dont catch that you may clip off what youĪre looking for. 'full_buffer' along with 'timeout' and 'eof' to catch when it inputīuffer has filled up. To deal with that Expect provides another target
How much data are you matching on? Expect does have a 10000 byte limit Incidentally, this missing is happening to last part of screen content. I see 'timedout' sometimes, but when I manually look at the minicom screen which expect is parsing I see 'done' as part of screen output.īasically problem is 'done' string is present on minicom screen, but expect misses it. I always see the pattern on screen ( minicom serial ), but expect sometimes misses it. I have an expect script that looks for a character pattern to determine completion of an event/test.
