Re: Net::Telnet + command prompt

Hello,

To expand on NetWallah's response...

I find it easier to set my own prompt. That way you always know what's being returned. Look at Net::Telnet --> method: prompt

Here's an example:

$host->login( $username, $password );
my $prompt = "_MYPROMPT_";
$host->prompt("/$prompt\$/");
$host->cmd("prompt = $prompt");

I don't what you're programming/developing but another thing you might want to be aware of is the trickiness of Microsoft's own "telnet server".

See the Net::Telnet documentation under the heading: Connecting to a Remote MS-Windows Machine

Hope it helps..

Solved! The code to do so is the following: `foreach $host (sort @hosts) { $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10, Input_log => $file, Prompt => "/\>/"); print "\n\nConnecting to $host ...\n"; $t->open("$host"); $t->login("abc","abc123"); my @lines = $t->cmd('dir'); print "$host: Directory Contents:\n"; print "@lines \n"; $t->close; }` [download] Thanks to all for your help.

Hey check if the host to which you are trying to telnet is accepting connections. This generally occurs when the telnet connection cannot be established.	[reply]
