Using Expect output in a script.

I'm unsure how to break down and use what is returned by expect in the
rest of my script. I want to issue a command and split the results of
that command into several different variables. I then want to use
those variables in the rest of my script. Here is a snipet:

$expcxn = Expect->spawn("telne t 10.10.10.10\r") or die "Cannot spawn
telnet: $!\n\n";
$expcxn->expect($timeou t, "assword:") or die "Did not get a password
prompt: $!/n/n";
print $expcxn "thepassword\r" ;
$expcxn->expect($timeou t, "go>") or die "Did not get command prompt:
$!/n/n";
print $expcxn "show info $ARGV[0]\r";
$expcxn->expect($timeou t, "go>") or die "Did not get command prompt:
$!/n/n";
exit(-1);

The 'show info' command is what produces the info I want to split and
use. What do I have to do to get whatever is returned and put it into
variables I can use in other commands?

Hi folks, i have a problem using a PHP script as a custom handler in Apache. What i wanna do is this: Whenever a .html file is requested by a browser, i want Apache to call a CGI that outputs a header, then the requested file and then a footer. I want to use PHP for this, as i also want to do some template parsing. Well, basically, this can be done using Apache's mod_action module,

First of all, I'm an Asian and I need to input Japanese, Korean and so on. I've tried many PHP IDEs today, but almost non of them supported Unicode (UTF-8) file. I've found that the only Unicode support IDEs are DreamWeaver 8 and Zend PHP Studio. DreamWeaver provides full support for Unicode. However, DreamWeaver is a web editor rather than a PHP IDE. It only supports basic IntelliSense (or code completion) and doesn't have anything...

I have a problem that I am hoping someone can help me with. First let me describe the problem. I have an HTML form that in one field has an onBlur call to a JavaScript function. When you exit the field, it calls the JavaScript routine, which in turn calls a PHP script. The PHP script runs returns the value needed. And returns to the JavaScript. The JavaScript function is then supposed to set alerts depending on the values returned from...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
