Re^2: Expect and STDIN

Thank you for the update that you have found the problem. You have no idea how many posters to this site would simply not have bothered.

BTW: Since you posted under your account rather than anonymously, you could have added an Update note to the original post rather than replying to your own OP. You could even have added a request for Reapage!

You could even have added a request for Reapage! Ah, no. This is a very inappropriate reason to cry reap. Problems like this, and their solutions, no matter how quickly the latter come and whether the OP answers his/her own, should remain for the benefit of future questioners. HTH, planetscape	[reply]

I agree with tye's points that questions or answers can be useful to others even when ill-considered or mistaken, and so should not necessarily be reaped just for these reasons or at the request of the OPer. However, when considering the addendum to the OP ("The ctrl-Gs are added by the [unspecified] box I am connecting to... [They] were ... just the result of another [unspecified] problem."), it seemed no problem or solution remained that was worthy of the name and the OPer's own assessment ("Please ignore this question") should be given strong consideration. Of course, any action, as always, remains entirely the province of The Reaper, before whom I tremble!	[reply]
