Expect from Program

Hi,

I am new to working with Linux/Unix. I created a file which executes set of expect commands. It works fine, when I am running it from command prompt. I have written a program that executes series of commands using the program test.expect.

I am using java 1.7, expect 5.1 and Windows NT system.

I am trying to run the commands from program using

This is creating a text file, but it has no values.
Can some one help me. I am trying to run set of commands.

I tried another approach, where I created a batch file and processing the batch file, but the problem is that, the command takes 50sec to execute and all the commands are not executing.

Please help me.

Um, you can't pass Windows command to Linux. Well, you can (you obviously are), but they won't work. Try using the Linux equivalents.

But I think I am confused. You said this:

I am new to working with Linux/Unix.

And then this:

I am using ... Windows NT system.

So which is it? Are you running Linux or Windows NT? If the latter, this is the wrong forum and I will move the post for you.

I am working in Windows NT but trying to run Expect commands

Aside form the syntax error is the code you posted (the extra " right after >> on line 4), I suspect that "expect" outputs information to stderr and not to stdout. So try also redirecting stderr:

p = rt.exec("cmd /c expect a b >> c:/test.txt 2>&1");

Also, since this has nothing to do with Linux, I'll move this post to a more appropriate location.
