Running expect4j in an SSH environment

[Anthony Schmitt]

I'm trying to login to SSH normally, then send six digits to my server, get a response, run expect4j code that matches regex and responds.

My code is almost working, save for that fact that my six digits and following response are being processed by my later expect4j code, and I don't know why.

This is the last line that gets processed before it hands off:
expect.expect("\r\nDestination: ", loginClosure);

private Expect4j SSH() throws Exception {
		JSch jsch = new JSch();
		Session session = jsch.getSession(userName, host, SSH_PORT);
		if (password != null) {
			session.setPassword(password);
		}
		Hashtable<String,String> config = new Hashtable<String,String>();
		config.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
		session.setConfig(config);
		session.connect(120000);
		ChannelShell channel = (ChannelShell) session.openChannel("shell");
		Expect4j expect = new Expect4j(channel.getInputStream(), channel.getOutputStream());
		channel.connect();          
                
                
               
		Closure loginClosure = new Closure() {
			public void run(ExpectState loginExpectState) throws Exception {
				firstBuffer.append(loginExpectState.getBuffer());
			}
		};
                

                expect.expect("\r\nDestination: ", loginClosure);         
                expect.send(npa+nxx+ENTER_CHARACTER);  //logged in to switch, now use regex to find switch type.
                expect.expect("via.{12}\r\n", loginClosure); //connected, get info and move onto normal expect4j code               
                
                System.out.println("Printing firstBuffer...");                 
                System.out.println(firstBuffer);  
                

        
           return expect; 
	}
