I'm entering a command on a cisco-like device using Net::Telnet::Cisco. If I run the command by hand I see the output as follows
device#upgrade all ftp://anonymous@release.network.com/tagged/soc/OS.S +6K.V7_1T40 Fetching ftp://anonymous@release.network.com/tagged/soc/OS.S6K.V7_1T4F +ile size is 37548064 bytes ###################################################################### +################################################# ##############[OK] Download complete, file length is 37548064 bytes Forcing image installation... 'V7_1T40' will be next image to boot Upgrade complete: Use the 'reload' command to have upgrade take effect device#
but for some reason when I use the following
@output = $net_tel_cisco->cmd( String => "$params->{cmd}\n", Cmd_remove_mode => 1, Timeout => $params->{timeout}, Prompt => '/(?m:.*[\w.-]+\s?(?:\(config[^\)]*\))?\s?[\ +$#>]\s?(?:\(enable\))?\s*$)/' );
I'm not capturing everything in the @output, Just the first two lines.

The problem seems to be that the prompt regex is matching the following (checked by looking at $net_tel_cisco->last_prompt)
File size is 37548064 bytes #
So I guess, the question is......how can I fix the regex so that it doesn't see that line with multiple #### as a prompt. Maybe only expect a single # as an indication of a prompt?
