Hi Monks,

I'm new here and need to implement a certain automation for linux process. But I'm stuck at a point where first I need to check a command suggestions before executing the actual command depending on certain condition. By command suggestion, I mean the suggestion or next steps displayed for a command when we press <TAB><TAB>. I have tried doing the following things but not even a single one worked: 

$connection = Net::SSH::Expect(); #connection to a server
$connection->send("\t\t");
$connection->get_expect()->send("\t\t");
$connection->send("011");
$connection->get_expect()->send("011"); # octal for tab

[download]

So basically once sending <TAB><TAB> characters, I can read suggestions using $connection->read_all() but not able to figure out how to get suggestions using tab. It would be great if any of you amazing monks can guide me through this mountain!

Thank you in advance!
