Re^2: Telnet to a switch

"kcott, tnx for reply i thing you are write. ... And what are the other options for the prompt.."

I've never used Net::Telnet, so I've had to do what you need to do, i.e. Read The Fine Manual.

At the very least, search for prompt. You'll find all sorts of information, including default value, hints, tips and gotchas.

The author of Net::Telnet appears to have gone to a fair amount of effort to provide the necessary information. However, there does seem to be some expectation regarding a basic knowledge of Perl's regular expressions: if you don't have that, I suggest reading "perlretut - Perl regular expressions tutorial".

"... im new to perl and still learning, and i think this is a noob question so dont judge me :) ..."

I am not judging you. I never judge someone on the basis of not knowing some particular piece of information: we start off life knowing nothing and we all learn different things. Until a few hours ago, I didn't know this information either.

Having said that, I note your last question, "Telnet Cisco routers", involved using Net::Telnet::Cisco. The first and third sentences in that documentation are:

"Net::Telnet::Cisco provides additional functionality to Net::Telnet for dealing with Cisco routers."

...

"Before you use Net::Telnet::Cisco, you should have a good understanding of Net::Telnet, so read it's documentation first, and then come back here to see the improvements."

So, perhaps this is something you should have known about.

Finally, I'm not trying to put you off from posting here. We're happy to help but we do expect you to show some effort yourself: asking for information that's clearly documented does not indicate any such effort. This is all explained in more detail in "How do I post a question effectively?".

Tnx for understanding. You are absolutely right. I should read first, but i start learning perl from beginning im reading the book "beginning Perl" :), and im going slow. And all start from the task that was given to me, to telnet more then 600 routers and switches. So my priority is to make this two scripts and parallel with that to learn Perl because i start to love this language :). My perl script for Telnet Cisco it works very well. And for this one i have a problems. We're happy to help but we do expect you to show some effort yourself: asking for information that's clearly documented does not indicate any such effort. This is all explained in more detail in "How do I post a question effectively?". Any way You are right, i have to respect the rules and read more in detail. Thanks again for understanding and information you gave me. ;) Ill do my best ;)	[reply]
