in thread Telnet extract output

In the MikrotikOS telnet session you can change directory just typing the path, without any commands. I can see the session in the dump.log file and my problem is exactly what i said before. :(

    Does your prompt match the actual prompt?

    Could your prompt possibly match some data somewhere in the logs? That would cause it to think output has stopped when it hasn't.

    Make your prompt the most restrictive thing that you can. If you can, it may help to issue a command to change your prompt to something you're sure is not in the logs (setting the PS1 environment variable does it in bash) and setting your prompt to the new prompt.

      Nope it didn't match anything in the log output. I've set it as restrictive as i can. If i use the ^ and $ metacharacters then the situation just get worse because of command timeout. I think i have to figure it out, because the problem is clearly with the prompt variable.

        Did you try changing the prompt? Did you try, as an experiment, to verify your theory by adding in sleeps?

        If none of those help then I can't be of much assistance. If I had the system in front of me it might be a different story, but I don't have MikrotikOS available to play with. I can't run your code. I don't know what exactly you're seeing. And I have not personally used Net::Telnet in this millennium.
