r will change every time TelnetWaitFor>hTN, ,5,r is executed. So it will change on every loop iteration.

v9 telnet = Macro Scheduler, Version 9, Telnet commands.
Aaaargh! Thanks Marcus for explaining that.

Going back, I can't believe that I missed that. You had already explained that, and it shows up in the script samples. I must have jumped in at the end, and ignored everything previous. Sorry for any confusion.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
Bob

Can Telnet waitfor recognize hidden/hex character

Post by mfauzim » Thu Jan 11, 2007 11:54 pm

Marcus,
Since your suggestion to use space for the response, How about using hidden/hex character such as carriagereturn (CR). Can the telnet command recognize hidden/hex character for the response. Appreciate if you can give example.

Yes, just specify CR. CR is a built in variable for carriage return:

TelnetWaitFor>hTN,CR,5,r

just watch that the first CR you read is the CR you have sent after your previews command, so look for the second CR or read line by line with each CR untill the buffer is empty/quiet.
