[Xorp-users] Problem

[Atanu Ghosh]

Hi,

The following works for me but its not elegant:
----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python 
import time 
import sys 
import pexpect 
 
child=pexpect.spawn ('xorpsh') 
child.expect('Xorp> ') 
child.send('show ') 
time.sleep(1)
# Defeat the command line completion.
child.sendline(' igmp group | no-more') 
time.sleep(1)
child.sendeof() 
while 1:
	line = child.readline()
	if not line:
		break
	print line,
child.close() 
----------------------------------------

	Atanu.
