I had already done this in PERL, but, even though we have PERL, we are not allowed to download modules here. So, I'm redoing it in Expect. I thought someone would say a "oh just <blah, blah> and you're done" type of response.

Well, what you're doing right here is reimplementing rancid. Which is wholly unnecessary because we already have rancid, and a more modern alternative named oxidized. And you've gotten that response already. Fine as a personal exercise, of course. The inability to download modules seems sadistic to me, though. -------------------------------------------------- It IS sadistic and I don't have a choice. Can't use rancid, either. Thus my comment of $next-job and personal exercise in prep for that. But, while I'm here I want something non-GUI I can use without losing my mind. scott
